We modern human beings are looking at life, trying to make some sense of it; observing a 'reality' that often seems to be unfolding in a foreign tongue--only we've all been issued the wrong librettos. For a text, we're given the Bible. Or the Talmud or the Koran. We're given Time magazine, and Reader's Digest, daily papers, and the six o'clock news; we're given schoolbooks, sitcoms, and revisionist histories; we're given psychological counseling, cults, workshops, advertisements, sales pitches, and authoritative pronouncements by pundits, sold-out scientists, political activists, and heads of state. Unfortunately, none of these translations bears more than a faint resemblance to what is transpiring in the true theater of existence, and most of them are dangerously misleading. We're attempting to comprehend the spiraling intricacies of a magnificently complex tragicomedy with librettos that describe the barrom melodramas or kindergarten skits. And when's the last time you heard anybody bitch about it to the management?

What happens is fact, not truth. Truth is what we think about what happens.
Robert McKeeTruth is something believed in heart.
Fact is anything happened in realities.
A very single fact could emerge into many versions of truth,
depends on the number of eyewitnesses and interpretations.

But it's fucked up if you falsify the fact.

News told, rumors heard, truth implied, facts buried.
Toba BetaIf you say that you never lie in life,
you honestly insult my intelligence.
There is the strange power we have of changing facts by the force of the imagination.
Virginia WoolfTag: imagination fact
She was no longer struggling against the perception of facts, but adjusting herself to their clearest perception.
