It is not my truth. It is truth belonging to the wise and wisdom of the ages, including those in positions like yours.

Sorry you can’t get it.

“It is not my truth. It is truth belonging to the wise and wisdom of the ages, including those in positions like yours.

What it really is, cannot be established. But many cling to it: it does convey certain operational advantages.

Anybody who can convince a gaggle of onlookers that the Almighty is commanding the gaggle, can get a whole lot more mileage out of issued commands. Compensates for deficiencies in personal qualities or character attributes of actual utility - stuff like talent, or insight, or courage. But it does require shameless sales pitches.

Make no mistake, it’s amihow’s truth. Along with Arthur McGowan, Claud, and the rest, posters of a certain type cannot get enough of the stuff. I’d toss some psychobabble into the mix, and speculate on why the “certain types” would be so frightened of uncertainty, of admitting they don’t know, but psychobabble is if anything even more unhelpful.

Certain types may believe. But they cannot know.
