The truth shall set you free!

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon

Even the Churches need to transform their ideology of what the supposed devil music is. What motivates the conservatives doesn't motivate the liberals. We all have our preferences and some interchange at different moments and it doesn't make them turncoats. Sometimes what pop music does for me the quire can't and sometimes joyful  noise can be overwhelming when the heart seeks tranquility. Democracy should be the bridge as voicing out is the joyful noise of a nation to decide where it wishes to go.

Mark Twain said "give the truth to those who are worth it"! How does one say the truth to someone who is worthy of it? How does one know who is worth it? Aren't we all worth it? Is it to those who want to be saved? I would presume that the truth is an opinion and that may come across as abusive like in the following example; 

Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid. by George Carlin

I could rephrase it by saying " Are women crazy? Are men stupid? Do women go crazy because men do stupid things"? I guess the difference in approach is quite evident. One is a statement that is generalistic and the other allows exploration rather than dishing out statements that yields no fruit but emotions. Yes maybe some statements are said in order to trigger an effect but its result is often negative i.e hold no knowledge of an environment but the state of a singular mind that resonates or responds to it. These are the kind of statement that can get someone hated. Don't say the truth that can get you killed!
