How often have you been ignored when you spoke the truth ?

I was ignored over a year ago when I warned that the patriot act would be extended. I was ignored when I said that there would be military forces used to enforce civil law. I was ignored when I said there would be a massive uprising of the population who were tired of over reaching government. I was ignored when I said Obama would be pretty much Bush's third term. I was ignored when I said we were headed for 10% unemployment. All of those have happened since I issued those warnings. Since then I have issued a bunch of others and those too are discounted. *shrug* I tried.

You need to more tightly define "truth" here. No one can deny that there's a big fiery, hot ball that seems to rise and set each day, and most people around the world have agreed to call it the sun; you can definitely call that "truth." But take something like music, and the world over, you're going to get a different set of ideas of what constitutes "good" music. Does this make any one person's opinion any more true for them? Truth is relative. And sometimes, your version of it is different than their version of it. Have you often been ignored when people disagreed with you?

It has, but what's worse is when a liar is believed over you. That's happened to me before and made me realize that honesty is not respected as it should be. I continue to be honest because it's just the right thing to do.

This happens often to me. they may not hear me or if they do they misinterpret what I have said. The result of this is I am at most times quite and if I really want to say anything, if it's important I send it in writing.

I think that it is the way that the truth is presented to them. If it is said as more as a suggestion then it may be more palatable to the person or people. Truth can hurt and people do not want to be hurt. As a suggestion and said pleasantly in a non confrontational manner will usually do it.

Take heart, Truth cannot be changed. No matter how many lies are told around it, the truth remains and eventually everyone must face the truths they've denied.
