THEREIN LIES THE TRUTH

The Bright Side
I believe that every time human beings communicate, by word (oral or written) or by deed, they do so in furtherance of some specific personal agenda.

Therefore, in the human experience, truth is ill-defined.

What people communicate is their particular perspective of a given set of circumstances, shaded to further their personal agendas.

The Real Experts rarely lie.

The following is an excerpt from the Trinidad Guardian:
“Prime Minister Patrick Manning told Parliament last Wednesday that Annisette-George (the former Attorney General) had tendered her resignation because “her worst fears were coming to pass and that the anticipated conflict of interest situation (in the CLICO bailout issue) was imminent. He told the weekly post-Cabinet news conference at the Diplomatic Centre the following day that the potential conflict could even reach the courts.

However, Information Minister Neil Parsanlal said on Tuesday: “This should in no way be construed to mean that the former senator or any member of her family is in any way implicated by the investigations into CL Financial or any of its subsidiaries.””

Somewhere in this paradoxical muddle of words lies the Truth.

The bright side lies in two of my deceased Grandmother’s admonitions:
“Moon does run til sun ketch it” and “What in de dark does come to light.”

She had another: “One day, one day, congotay.”
