Welcome to the Truth Peddler
Have you ever felt as though there was more to life? It seems inconceivable to me that someone could live their entire life without questioning the possibility’s that lay at their very own feet. In the words of Charlie Chaplin “the way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way, greed has poisoned men’s souls.” This site will examine the nature of mankind, and the institutions that have shaped the world around us.
Half the journey to the truth is asking the right questions. Before you can free yourself or anyone else you have to understand what’s holding you back, or more importantly what’s holding back the human race from becoming free from poverty, war and slavery. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said “None are more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they are free.” Which begs the question, what is freedom and, what’s the difference between freedom and liberty, or a democracy and a republic. These questions and more, end up at the heart of the issue, because ultimately things like “rights”, and “freedom are only ideas, and ideas live in the minds of men and women like you.
Human beings are beautiful creatures capable of the greatest feats of compassion and love, yet at the same time harboring tendencies to act in the worst of ways. The typical school of thought is that, the difference between man and beast is the capability for reason and logic to overcome our animalistic urges. Although we do possess these qualities we also spend a lot of time killing one another. Has our species left the jungle, or merely created another one?
