True

 If we truly understood the weight of the word true,

we wouldn't use it so easily.

To call something true should mean it withstands time,
survives eternity,
remains untouched by change,
unshaken by decay.

By that standard,
there is no true wealth,
no true friendship,
no true love.

Even truth itself might be nothing more than a well-dressed facade—
something we whisper to ourselves
when we need the world to feel solid.

Take it as that sleek way of gaslighting our opposing instincts into backing us to do some crazy stuff. It is a word that crushes guilt, at least for some time. If I did it because ‘I am free and I can do what I want to,’ guilt won’t keep me awake at night, right? Right? Or to justify our differences in the way we see the world. In that regard, it gets easier to interact with other people who do some pretty messed up stuff, do drugs we hate, or have some ‘unpopular opinions’; they are simply practising some of their many freedoms. If you compare the way we use the word now, the gravity it carries versus its gravitas when men and women of old were fighting for the advantages the word carried either during colonization or slavery, you notice something very interesting. During their time, they were fighting for the very foundation of the word: be...
