Derrick Jensen - ‘A Language older than Words’

In order for us to maintain our way of living, we must, in a broad sense, tell lies to each other, and especially to ourselves. It is not necessary that the lies be particularly believable. The lies act as barriers to truth. These barriers to truth are necessary because without them many deplorable acts would become impossibilities. Truths must at all costs be avoided.

Todays Green Thought comes from the American author and environmental activist Derrick Jensens 2000 book ‘A Language older than Words’.
