The one thing I never knew but now have learned? The truth is not the truth. By golly that could be useful in a lot of situations and to a lot of people. Just think, if you get caught speeding and at your trial the police prove that you were speeding, you can always say "Yes your honor, that's the truth, but the truth is not the truth." You just might be acquitted. After all, if its good enough for the council to the president, it should be good enough for you.
There are often two sides to every argument. Your side and the other side. When your wife accuses you of being out drinking last night with your friends, you can accept that as the truth but the actual truth might be that you were also playing poker. It would be the truth but it could get you in even more trouble.
So which truth do you ascribe to? Drinking or gambling? Or could you say, you were merely attending a rally on the dangers of not telling the truth. But what happens if she says you were not there because she didn't see you. The truth is not always the truth. She was out playing bingo all night.
Think about how many times or how often the truth is not the truth you want to adhere to. What about your college graduate daughter who you believe to be too young to be dating. The truth is, you've been neglecting the truth that she is an adult now. Ya see? The truth is not the truth.
So when a politician tells you the truth about his or her accomplishments while in office, that truth is definitely not the truth, and when that same politician tells you its the other guy's fault, well you guessed it, that's not the truth either.
