The truth, it has been said, will set you free. Obviously outside of original contextual intention, may we still apply this sequence of words into the conceptualization of a general principle? I see no reason why not, because it draws for us a parallel of logic. The nihilist, for example, vociferously complains there is no meaning to life and there is nothing deserving of our ultimate devotion or allegiance. But does he not, in one sense, let the cat out of the bag by revealing his true despair from lack of hope in ultimate truth? Why does every nihilist engage in unlimited hedonism, despite every moral philosopher pointing out the dangers in not going the right distance with our pleasures? Is nihilism a form of self-worship? Who can say. Is it easy though to see the inherent dangers with this way of thinking. What if it can be demonstrated his hopes and truths are simply misguided or misplaced? Everyone has faith in something. Behind every querulously complaisant but yet pain-stricken heart lies a deeper desire to see things set right. The more loudly one exudes hopelessness does in many ways sabotage the credentials otherwise relied upon and used to defensibly hold an insupportable argument that opposes the truth found in hope. The more one complains, the more he wishes there was nothing to complain about. Without ultimate truth to appeal to, there is no hope. Without hope, we find nothing but despair. But does the meaningful life begin on the other side of despair? It can, if you choose to see it that way. Let us no longer find ourselves bound to the trivialities in hopelessness. Truth can be found, and it can set us free – from ourselves. Let us keep ever before us the insight derived from such a moment as this, and let us now learn to move forward and detect the real inexcusable corruptions in life. For in so doing, our character as revealed in this action shall be truly strengthened.
