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’.
