Shall we glean noble knowledge through the divination of bloody entrails where the carcass of Truth Molested has been sacrificed?

Hahahahaaa… Oh Hell people, “Lighten up and show a little Lurve”

Yes you just got jabbed. Hopefully in a tickle spot. If not, then I am in line for your next scolding. But to those who enjoy putting a moments thought into this prose-less query, I challenge you to answer a recent concern of mine.

Recently I broke down and watched the new Batman Dark Night Movie. Near the end, there was a line spoken from Bruce Wayne about hiding the Truth about Harvey… aka Two Face.

“Sometimes people deserve more than the Truth”.

This struck me as very odd. One man deciding that it was most important to promote a lie, in order to protect the reputation and image of a trusted public servant. If you saw the movie, please recall that Harvey was pushed slowly over the edge, and finally landed squarely in the jaws of evil and revenge.

Batman felt it necessary to keep the good image of Harvey alive, for the sake of the people. Anyone who watched, could clearly understand why Harvey turned bad, and although we may or may not agree with his chosen path, the knowledge of it explained everything with a high degree of satisfaction.

Could you handle the Truth, and indeed want to face it? Or would you rather be comforted in the well intended judgmental self righteousness of someone else?
