Its not about forcing my ideas on any other person.

These nouns refer to the quality of being in accord with fact or reality. Truth
is a comprehensive term that in all of its nuances implies accuracy and honesty:
"We seek the truth, and will endure the consequences" Charles Seymour.
Veracity is adherence to the truth: "Veracity is the heart of morality" Thomas H
. Huxley.
Verity often applies to an enduring or repeatedly demonstrated truth: "beliefs t
hat were accepted as eternal verities" James Harvey Robinson.
Verisimilitude is the quality of having the appearance of truth or reality: "mer
ely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwi
se bald and unconvincing narrative" W.S. Gilbert.
If you'll notice that when talking about any issue, whether it the social scienc
e behind pakistani bitterness in the uk to world relief and reasons behind hunge
r, that people will pipe in with some uneducated negative reply. The natural rea
ction of course to the truth is one of disdain, hatred and denial because of the
various biases and prejudices inherit within each person.
Case in point, when I once mentioned racism and classicism in England which kept
in line with some of the comments about why some pakistanis decided to bomb a f
ew trains in london. And I talked about the anguish and feelings from within the
pakistani community and how the bitterness has resulted in very mixed feelings
towards the english and, indeed, the west. All of which was taken from notable s
ources and books written by social scientists. Many of commentors then went on t
o speak about their own personal experiences, or simply to deny that any form of
racism against pakistanis exists in the uk, and some have even gone to lengths
at describing the fact that some minorities are also prejudice and do injustice.
The problem here is that while all these things may be true to a degree it take
s away from the initial conversation and evaluation of how true racism and class
icism has led to pakistani/muslim bitterness in the UK. This type of denial also
places a hold on extending the conversation towards the bitterness of the Israe
l/palestinian conflict and the Iraqi war which may have also played a role in th
e suicide bombings and terrorist organizations within britain.. And so on and so
forth.
"The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, b
ut in the end; there it is." (winston churchill)
thereby, an inconvenient truth is not suited to the comfort level of a certain i
ndividuals or groups definition of reality. Although it may, indeed, still be a
fact!
