Liberty

Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one? Or do the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many? Life cannot be life without liberty. Nor can liberty give way to indifference towards our fellow man. We can argue all we want about solutions, but any solution that does not solve the problem of human depravity and suffering is no solution at all. Fear of the unknown or of what we do not understand always leads to one place - tyranny. If tyranny is ever suggested, whether soft or direct, for the sake of our security and the sake of the global common good then it must always be based in the moral fabric of individual worth and individual liberty. What we end up choosing ultimately determines our destiny.

What is Truth Reel?

A Real conversation begins with honesty. It's raw, candid and fearless. That's how life unfolds. One discovery at a time, always searching to find the answers. On the Truth Reel, we are the inquisitors on a journey to really understand the "why" of life. Who we are, why we are here and where all of this is going. The Truth of us is something you and I are meant to find and to know. Because in the end, it is the Truth that will set us free.
