Whispered Words - Part 4 - Truth and Fears Overlap

Instalment the D-th. Read the previous posts first if you haven't already. In this post we look at something that may seem to contradict what has come before. Yesterday we looked at Fear not being Truth - Today, I'd like to tell you that Truth can be Fear.

This again is one of my assumptions; in this case number 2.5 which states that "[Truth and Fear] will also sometimes come into line with each other. Truth is neutral, that's accepted almost universally. So we can assume that at times Truth and Fear will say the same thing." and again as part of corollary b "Truth will at times agree with Fear"

In practicality, this means that some if not all of the first generation of your fears are real. However the rest of corollary b says that "[when] there is agreement, Fear will always be able to go further, something that Truth will never do; this is called the worst case scenario. Because Fear is Irrational, he will always take the opportunity." It is only the first generation that is trustworthy after that we get back to Fear and Truth being different.

Remember how Fear is irrational and therefore lacks certain filters. What Fear doesn't lack is the ability to sometimes speak the truth. This will do three things. First of all, at some times fear will seem to be speaking even louder. When this happens, it means that Truth is saying the same thing - so Very loud fears can't be ignored. However don't mistake very loud for very irrational - they are very different.

The second thing it will do is add plausibility to everything else that Fear says. The justification for this is that if you can trust something of what someone says, the rest is more likely to be true. The Third thing that it does is take plausibility from Truth. The reason for this is that if a truth is echoed by an implausible witness, then the veracity of the statement is put into jeopardy.

In the short term, these will make very little difference, but over time it will either become a lot easier to trust Fear, or it will be a lot easier to doubt Truth. So the trouble that comes up is that either you can grow complacent or gullible, or you can grow to be untrusting of anything you hear.

Stay tuned for the season finale tomorrow.
