The Naked Truth

Image
By Duru Victor



According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day
today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well.

The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice.

They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back.

 The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.

The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.

Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a
blog article or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same
subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit
from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to
send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Terrific blog by the way!
