Today someone sent me this quote from Gloria Steiman that appeared on the web news page Daily Kos. “The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off.” It was part of a birthday wish on her 80th birthday.

How true that is for many people. When I heard hints about the evils the Coca Cola Company was doing I did not want to hear more since I was a regular drinker of Diet Coke. But someone told me about “killer Coke” anyway. I was mad at first but then felt freed from my addiction from Diet Coke. (Now please do not tell me something bad about diet Dr. Pepper, which I substituted for Diet Coke when I need a caffeine cola fix.)

The wise person, when he or she hears the truth might be pissed off. but eventually takes it in and absorbs the truth. This was and is, at times now, very true for me when someone tells me the truth of my weaknesses and faults. I do not want to hear it and react but later say there is some truth in that fact. This is even some truth for stigmas which I wrote about in the poem Stigma stains the Soul.

A couple of my “opinions of truth” that I have been pushing these days have really pissed off some people. One is Marquette University Teaches Killing and the other one is the Milwaukee Archdiocese has a history of ‘racism’ in North Central Milwaukee. A new one I am researching and trying to communicate these days is that the Society of St. Vincent De Paul in Milwaukee County is top heavy and does not effectively and efficiently accomplish the main mission of the Society of St. Vincent De Paul, to serve those in need with person to person service.

Actually when people getting ‘pissed off’ about these truths I have discovered I am somewhat glad. At least by being upset they are giving recognition to the message of these truths. Nowadays the more common response to expression of these truths of my conscience is not met with being ‘pissed’ off or even with creative dialog. Most of the time the truths are met with ‘indifference’, which according to many authors, is the opposite of love, not hatred. Ignoring some opinions of truth is the worst form of hatred since it does not even recognized the existence of the person making the statement. At least when a person is being ‘pissed off’, there is a recognition of the person and his or her ‘opinion of the truth.’
