Truth and love

In an age where knowledge and information is free, accessible and omnipresent more than ever before in history, there still pervades contrarily a great degree of falsehood. Whilst the perpetuation and embracing of disinformation, misinformation and outright lies is a powerful thing indeed, Truth, I think, will always be much more potent a force. Take love. I think it is fair to say that in the modern day, the term "love" is quite a fluid and flexible notion in constant evolution. This makes defining love a less than straightforward affair. However, no matter how fluid or flexible one may deem love to be, I hold that love must above all be True. In the face of expectation, compromise and dictation from culture, society, religion, politics, our peers and, yes, even from our own selves - love must stand strong, love must stand tall, love must stand true. For if I am to assert that lies, deceit and aspersions are vicious tongues slathering the peoples of this planet with spittle into our eyes on a daily basis, then I do so whilst also brandishing this weapon: that love is Truth, and in this truth there abounds an indefinable source of strength and enlightenment that can tear away the veil that obfuscates the sight of us all.
