Truth and falsehood are next door neighbours

I'd like to believe that truth and falsehood are neighbours.Although there is clearly a world of difference between the two,overcoming that difference can be done in a fraction of time.

You see,when you stop believing in something that is true and real,it doesn't hold any value for you anymore.It doesn't represent any entity that you set store by.In other words,it isn't true anymore,not to you at least.

It also works the other way round.Once you start believing in an abstract,imaginary or unreal idea,concept or person,you start to function as if that idea/person/thing is an integral part of your existence.No matter how ridiculous it may seem to others,you're still going to set store by it ,aren't you?
It's a truth you've acquainted yourself with.

There's a fine line between truth and falsehood,my friend,and that line is you.

Insightful, MAkes me remember this poem by gulzaar,

Bhala Bura Bura Bhala Hai
Khote Par Sab Khara Bhala Hai
Jooth Sach Ka Kya Pata Hai
Ek Gham Ek Badi Bala Hai
Chaal Dhaal Sab Ek Jaisi
Saara Kuch Hi Napa Tula Hai
Sach Ke Sar Jab Dhua Uthe To
Jooth Aag Mein Jala Hua Hai
Bhala Bura Bura Bhala Hai
Khote Par Sab Khara Bhala Hai

Amazing blog.

Wise men always went out in search of the truth because they knew at the end of the day everyone will come to know whatever they believed in is one big lie.

well written :)
