Western Virtues and Truth

 How soon we forget. For the Western world truth is the highest order of good. The Greeks listed honor, courage and loyalty as equals. The Christian ethos adds love and forgiveness. They all hinge on truth. Propaganda, censorship, political correctness, fact checking, existentialism and exclusion deny, distort or contradict the truth. These are sad times for our culture. I hope we can regain a sense of the Western virtues, of truth and of ourselves.
