Why does truth matter? Because truth is what is. To deny truth, itself or any particular element of truth, is to set oneself up to run into barriers, unseen barriers that one will not be able to comprehend. The picture is of a bird trying to move past a window. Why is it not able to do so? It doesn't know, for it can't see it. Yea, it can see past the glass, or at least the reflection of the sky in the glass, but not the glass. So confusion ensues, and it continues to try to get past the glass without accomplishment, but doing harm to itself. If only it knew the glass was there! It is to the bird an unseen hindrance, a force outside of itself it cannot overcome. So the denier of truth finds himself bumping into unseen barriers, barriers he denies exists. Why will his ideas and agendas not work? Why the constant confusion of his attempts? He seems to see his way clear enough, but he is blind to the laws of truth he is violating. These laws are the unseen and denied barriers he cannot get past. They are barriers that will never move or change, even in the slightest way. And they govern the lives of all men, be they aware of it or not. There are no exceptions. To follow the laws of truth is to find the pleasure and fulfillment one is trying to find by violating them, and to find truth itself.
