I am right.

    I'm more or less informed about it. Based on that, I have formed an agenda, a plan of action. I know what my methods will be to accomplish the goal, based on what I know. After all... I am right.

    I refuse to acknowledge, see, or even look in the direction of evidence that might indicate that what I know is inaccurate. Those that bring or attempt to bring such information are sometimes clearly stupid. Sometimes they are sincere but are simply misinformed and don't mind telling them so... softly at first.

    In many cases, though, these people exceed those descriptions. In many cases, these "opponents" have hidden (read: evil) intentions. Their real motive is to distract me from my viewpoint (and thus, my goal), a viewpoint that I suspect they also hold to be true -- only secretly. They oppose me because they are envious of my superior wisdom, spiritual condition and zeal -- qualities they sadly lack. They hate me because I have the truth. After all, I am right and they know it.

    One of their ultimate goals is to foment disunity between me and the Possessors of The Blessed Truth. Those that have given me this truth are totally trustworthy -- human beings above reproach of any kind. Sometimes the Possessors are even directed by powers that are even higher still... powers who have not, cannot and will not interact with me.

    The Revealers also have even deeper, more all-encompassing truths in addition to the ones they've already given me. At this moment in time they see little need in blessing me with these greater truths. In fact, they cannot and may not ever. They know better than I do that I would not be able decipher the meaning of these greater truths and that revealing them to me now would be an unkindness -- a cruelty. I'm not as physically strong or as mentally capable as my leaders and they know it. Their withholding the greater truths is a tremendous kindness on their part.

    I cannot and will not ever allow into my mind the slightest suspicion that the truth I have really isn't anything but the unadulterated, god-given truth. To do so would be evil on my part. It would show a complete lack of appreciation for everything the Possessors have done for me -- a betrayal of such a magnitude that I would not be fit to live.

    Denying the truth would say more about me than about the truth itself. Admitting to myself that the truth might not be would mean that I am no better than the opposers that I've long demonized. That could never be. More seriously, admitting that the Revealed Truths are not totally true would also suggest that the Revealers are not superior to me and not as informed as I once thought. It might even suggest to my puny mind that they are NO BETTER THAN ME, and perish that thought to the pits of hell!

    I am totally unassailable in my position of ultimate correctness. After all... I am right.

    Teejay,

    What version of truth are you talking about here? The 1973 version? 1983 version, or '93 perhaps? No -- maybe you mean "current year's truth"? Or do you mean truth as it will be revealed to us in the year 2013?

    Just wondering.

    I was watching one of our beloved Allied Generals on a news talk show this a.m. He was questioned by the moderator about how the war didn't seem to be going as well as what the pols said it would at the outset. Indeed, video from a little over a week ago showed high-ranking U.S. officials, generals, and media types inferring that the war would go pretty quick -- that the Iraqis would greet us as Liberators with flowers and cheers.

    Now that reality has set in, the official line is that... well... "we never said it would be easy." Oh yeah you did.

    Listening to the general reminded me of the gb and the 1975 fiasco. No, they never came right out and said it verbatim but they sure in hell did make strong inferences. Over and over. For years. When their prophecy didn't pan out, they changed their story. Even though the story changed radically, guess what? They're STILL right.

    Being "right" crosses all topics of discussion -- whether it's about a current military skirmish somewhere in the world or a religious doctrine; the best city/state/country to live in or the best restaurant to take your family to eat. Being right is a sickness. Unfortunately, there's no cure.
