Why?


Truth

What is it to you?

Facts? What is that?

How- would you KNOW?

You've been TOLD since birth that what is taught is

TRUTH

but who's to say?

It could in fact, be false.

How- would you KNOW?

You question, WHY?

The answer-

Because it is.

Because that's what we're taught.

But WHY?

Who's to say?

WHAT is truth?

Is it False?

It's up to you.

OR is it up to them, they, he ,she-

we?

The answer, that is.
