Truth or Lies - which do you choose?

For this post, I am going to quote a recent article discussing the recent American experience in general with respect to truth and lies.  I hope you'll see the correlation to flyball; and I hope you'll choose truth over the lies and the liars.

"...Once foreign to the “American mind,” dishonor and deceit are essential “harmonizing sentiments” in totalitarian societies. In a society controlled by force, lying is a way of life..."

"...the cure to overcoming the totalitarian harmonizing sentiment of deceit:

When people renounce lies, lies simply cease to exist."

"...During COVID, particularly in the early days of the pandemic, the public was frightened. Many preferred to get with the program and eschew responsibility for their often difficult health decisions. They wanted no interruptions to their fantasy that their preferred choice was an easy decision. Yet life is messy; there are few one-size-fits-all answers. Unwilling to tolerate the inherent ambiguity in life, they willingly forfeited their freedom."

"Streams of orchestrated, hateful propaganda were directed against those who made different medical choices. These relentless attacks were designed to stir up an agitated population easily gulled into supporting attacks..."

"The result was predictable. As (Aldous Huxley wrote), “The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone."

"To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.” Righteous indignation may be another prevailing sentiment in the American mind.."

"...One of the purposes of free speech is to allow discussion about various topics so the public may make informed decisions… Without a free debate about these issues [vaccines, masks, closures etc.], each person is unable to decide for himself or herself the proper decision regarding their health.”

Were you able to decide for yourself during the 'virus'?

Were some people denied free speech in flyball?

Were some attacked and maltreated?

Were some slandered and forced out of flyball?

Did some go along with it all?

If you are reading this post and the recent preceding ones, now you know someone who was denied, attacked, maltreated, slandered and forced out of flyball in one of the organizations.

Now you know the truth.  I hope you'll embrace it and give up the lies and liars.

Matthew 18:4 John 8:44 Romans 2:11 Amen
