‘Truth’ and Power

They used to say”power is where the truth is”. And that’s the way it is, they always come together. But not because the power goes to where the truth is. It’s the truth that crawls over to where the power is. When people try to understand where the truth is, they’re really trying to figure out on the sly where the power is. A man feels with his heart, not his mind. And what the heart wants above all is to survive.”
… “People gladly serve and believe in the most abominable lies if someone will set them up with a good life as a result.’
