Loving People You Don’t Love
Truth was concerned. These days, loving one another was more important than ever, yet humanity was full of conflict, war, arguments. Greed was happy, Lust was beyond itself and Mars, the God of War, had blossomed. Truth saw it as a good time for a few, bad times for most. And Truth itself was under constant attack, from all sides, and that made Truth sorrowful.
Truth being sad disrupted the universe. Truth had never been sad before.
Greed, Lust and Mars tried to brighten Truth’s mood. Envy and Frustration tried to help Truth feel it was better than it felt—but this was Truth and it knew exactly how it felt. It believed humanity needed everyone to work together, including the Gods.
How could Truth reach everyone? Lust had its usual suggestions, as did Greed and Mars and Envy. Frustration, as always, was frustrated. Truth knew their ideas were only more of what had created the problem.
Loving people you don’t love—that was a truth. Truth decided to concentrate on that. If humanity understood that, it would learn. Truth did its best to spread the word. The result was many TV reality shows where everyone took their clothes off.
That was true but not what Truth sought.
