Keeping to The Facts

Often heard in political discussion is the phrase 'keep to the facts'. It is as if some need were satisfied by being logically tight and only talk about things you know about. Such left brain side assumptions about what is best in discussions surely must be missing the point about discussions at any time.

Our reality is most often that there are no true facts that can be applied to the issues we must face almost hourly. What is true in any event other than filtered facts. And, what filter have we applied to the facts to make them true. This is not to say that we don't want to have information out there and in full view for all to see.

But, experience says that it's important to have all the information out there including the facts so that we can see what are potential facts and potential filters for those facts. All facts must go through filters before they are presented and that is what the discussion is really about, the filters.

It would have been better to say that one wants all the information filtered my way because I want good and useable news for me.

Will ye no think kindly on those who would be your friends! May the sun shine with your thoughts, today, and happiness grow in your heart! May you allow yourself some peace of mind.

I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
