The simple step of the courageous individual

The simple step of the courageous individual is to not take part in the lie. Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

Not to take part in the lie. In any way. To point to it as a lie. 

This is courageous. Heartfelt. Wholehearted.

Aleksander Solzhenitsyn would know. He put his life behind truth and the exposure of lies. 

Someone has to take a stand. The first stand is the hardest, against the consensus.

That person who risks everything to go against the tide that often becomes a tsunami.

How do we know truth? Truth is when all the pieces line up, the real and the ephemeral. Not a single atom is dissonant. Soul knows truth. Digging deep into our Soul, we ask for truth. Deception, self-deception, wants us to deny it. 

Telling ourselves the truth is the first, often hardest step, in exposing a lie.
