The Cosmic Turtle

A beautiful quote that I discovered the other day.

"If you shout to the world that you have the truth and then threaten and try to silence anyone who offers a different point of view, it is a good call you don't have the truth.

Here is a simple example of what I mean: If you know the earth is round and someone comes up to you and says, no, the earth is flat and riding on top a cosmic turtle, you would not feel the need to threaten or silence this
person. The reason is, you know the truth and are not offended by someone who believes differently.

So remember, if what another believes makes you angry, or you feel the need to force them to believe what you believe, you don't have the truth! - because the truth cannot be offended and does not need to be defended! The Truth sets people free."

- Jacob Israel
