"It is not decided by votes what is true; otherwise we could never come to any truth, ever. People will vote for what is comfortable — and lies are very comfortable because you don't have to do anything about them, you just have to believe. Truth needs great effort, discovery, risk, and it needs you to walk alone on a path that nobody has traveled before"

Mmmm...no.
I can pick up a rock, and let it go. The truth is that, unless acted on by a greater force, it will fall to the ground. No great effort there. I'm sure people have done it before.
It was quite motivating, though.
best wishes.

I like it! It is said of the Knights {I include women as knights also} of the round table. That beginning there quest for the Grail "that each entered the forest at a place of their own choosing, where it was the darkest and there was no path".

The quote is so true,
but the person who said this is all talk and no practicality.

I like it. Jesus once said, " A prophet is not welcome in his own house, or in his own country."
It was rejection that he got from those who knew him, 'even his own brothers did not believe in Him.'
Truth can make some people miserable, and they will wander from it if they think that they can. They would rather hide from it.
As it is stated,"The same words bring life to some, and death to others."

Experience of ultimate truth is personal.
Mob is not at all able to understand it.

Very nice!
The path is indeed there.
One needs "Wisdom" to see the footprints!
