If one knows truth, one has the obligation to spread truth.

This is to the question of why hide the truth if you already know it? Why remain silent?

As a person who realized that there is a clear friction between his will and the will of others, however partial or illusiory, he will find the need to be discreet in presence of this other will that may very well purge him. The need to be somewhat invisible in the face of adversary becomes a necessity. A person that tries to transmit truth via a sermon or a demonstration might not work if the nature of that 'truth' is beyond words and demonstration. Sometimes a person might know truth but decides to not be vocal about it simply because it cannot be perceived from an incomplete point of view. I invite the reader to be more open as to the method of transmission itself can be beyond measure of our current perception.

A person who is confused turns around and tries to find help from others, his parents, friends,his psychiatrist. Turns around to 'God' via praying and meditation but continually finds nothing. Why is this? He asks. I've been tossed and turned by the people around me, including 'God' but I still feel that everything is wrong about me. Throughout his journey he didn't find any salvation from the outside, he decides to go 'in' to the dark areas unexplored. Uncharted by the books, unseen by others, unspoken by his upbringers and teachers and society. There he sees that there might be hope. He hasn't put things in stone yet, but he ventures anyway.

But his journey will not be approved by the people around him, he will be branded a heretic, blasphemous, satanist, all the bad names society can offer. His parents will disown him, his friends will leave him and he will be an outcast to society. The nature of his undertaking is simply bizarre! This he considers beforehand, and it is only then it becomes apparent that he must be discreet.

The world is a fairly complicated place. I do not agree that once you know something it becomes an overbearing mission to give it out to the world. Or rather, it's more tricky than most would like to put it across. Only an idiot would say that more money means a better life. A more reasonable man would say a reasonable amount of money would be enough to lead a better life. An idiot would say that if you know truth, then show it to us. A reasonable person would demand a reasonable explanation. But we all know that we do not need to justify our sight to a blind man. The blind man must be able to see first to understand!

This we usually miss. A lot of time. It's a real wonder why words of wisdom will only enlighten us to the most obvious of things and yet we have *this* as a world we live in today.

People are easily hurt. And why it's complicated to simply lunge a stake signed truth into their heart is because when people are hurt they retaliate, and truth will not sink. How can we tell to them we don't need this internet, this smartphones, this cars, this house and this.. 'system' in order to live a perfectly healthy and happy life? when people make such a big deal when it comes to politics, economy and technology moving forward? They're even doing it at the cost of destroying their very planet, if not their own self!

Methods like words and actions are a very partial tool, they cannot transmit truth well enough it will pierce through a person eventhough how much they'd want to deny it. But from a certain perspective, it is awfully cruel to enlight truth to an unwilling, not ready person right?

That's why it pays to be discreet toward certain extent. I believe that the nature of a certain kind of communication means it requires a great deal of 'molding', or 'growth', even 'readiness' before it can take stage. From the times of Copernicus to Galileo the church would kill in order to hide the 'truth'. I believe that it's not so different nowadays anyways.... Who knows how many things, that effects our very life and death, our very conviction, our very belief and ... everything about what we define as 'us', is concealed from our knowing?(hint:Zeitgeist Addendum) The prospect of how, maybe if these truths are brought to light in our readiness might very well make us transcend is definitely worth considering.
