Some things I have noticed about "Truth Seekers" and "Conspiracy Theorists" is quite interesting and the roots run deep in psychological flaws(superiority complex), a need to be "right", and the inability to accept that personal control/free-will is an illusion. There also seems to be a low level of spirituality in the truth seeker as their focus is obsessed with topics of the "world" as opposed to the spirit within. Spiritual in this sense should not be confused with religious as the truth seeker is definitely a my God is the only God type of personality. Religion and beliefs have been the cause of all wars, atrocities, and deaths known to man so it is completely understandable how religion and truth seeking go hand in hand.
"I have the Truth and you don't"
"My God is the only God and your God is false"
"This land is mine and not yours"
"My ideology is right/true yours is wrong"
Etc. Etc.
Notice what is the one commonality in all of these statements and you will see it is "I" "Me" "My" which is evidently Ego.
The source of all unhappiness is the Ego. The source of the unhappiness that lies within the truth seeker is ego. The fear of being "lied" to drives the Ego.
So what is truth?
In my opinion, nothing is true as we cannot even define simple truths. This can be easily realized if we look at something such as a car for example.
We look at a car and call it a car, yet a car is also metal, rubber, plastic, palladium. So one could argue that a car is not a car, and its metal. Another person could argue that a car is not a car and its plastic. You get the point. Both parties are actually "right". One argues with the consensus and another states an equally true point. The argument could go one forever without there ever being a mutual agreement as both parties "know" they are right and the other is wrong.
What a crazy way to live if everyone walked around arguing about if a car was really a car.
The funny thing about the car example is that there are actually people who argue and stand behind even larger agendas of "truth" and spend many wasted hours showing the world their "truth". These truth seekers spend countless hours writing blogs, making videos, and some even writing songs dedicated to how "right" they are. It's pretty crazy as sometimes their truth is not even based in any actual direct experience or evidence. Sources will be Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, YouTube Videos, articles not written by them etc etc etc. Its really quite amusing to witness and also sad in some regards that these types are so fanatical in their beliefs that they think everyone else is crazy who doesn't agree. They seem to think their opinions of "truth" are going to change the world in a world where nothing is true. They are chasing an invisible dragon and will argue with anyone that says they can't see the dragon they are chasing.
If you run into a truther they are really easy to mess with and some can even be borderline psychopaths. Give it a try sometime if you so dare.
Watch how crazy they get when you disagree with them. Its really fun. . You can fly this person into a rage of lunacy quite easily as they don't know how to communicate because their feeble minds are so deeply consumed in the elusive truth they defend. They will argue with all types of evidence and ask you to prove yourself as they fail to realize that in a world of no truth one does not have to prove anything.
Maybe I'm the crazy one for not being obsessed with the news, war, Hitler conspiracies, round earth vs flat, vaccines, the government etc etc.
But then again, I'm just a sheep. . . :)
