Tillmann - I Woke Up

Being able to speak "Truth to Power" is quite young in the history of our humanity. Here is my honestly, that certainly is not dangerous to you. Wokeness is that stage of waking up, where you are sleepy, groggy, and creates a very narrow way of thinking. Thankfully people are waking up and staying awake in in steadfastly promoting freedom and individual liberty of all.

"Speaking truth to power" was known as parrhesia, in classical Greece, means literally "to speak everything" and by extension "to speak freely", "to speak boldly". To speak "boldly" against woke ideology, can get you canceled, or worst. To speak truth to power, will get you hated and possibly killed. An example of this happening within human history is how Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi spoke truth to power using non-violent tactics to make a positive change in the word we all share. It is not always easy to speak truth to power and may take decades to come to fruition.

All truths are subjective and to speak it can be extremely difficult. To me, speaking "Truth to Power" means, being impowered to speak your own truth. Not allow your own fears and hate to lie and manipulate your own soul into hateful behavior. Propagated emotionally motived passions ultimately do not benefit you or others, as you are being used for someone else's evil gain. The ends, you are sold, should never justify the means if it accomplished by hurting others.

Speech is only truly dangerous to those corrupt and in power. The more the news and politicians try to divide us by our race, our income, our thoughts, and ideologies, the more the people will be brought together to call out the real issues alive in our world today; liars, bullies, and ice holes.
