"... the truth will make you free."
I happened to see this stenciled on the front of a van (of all places...lol) last Friday. I was immediately struck by it when I saw it. The very randomness and strangeness of seeing it stayed with me throughout the afternoon. But, by Friday evening I had forgotten about it...
Then, like a lightbulb being turned on, the saying hit me again last night in the shower right before bed and it all made sense. I didn't know where this quote came from until I Googled it this morning before starting this post. I was shocked when I saw the whole quote, I guess it just didn't all fit on that van... It's a bible verse (I'm guessing everyone probably knew that but me...lol)
"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
I realize NOW the important role my thoughts about this quote played in my life over the past few days. I did know the truth and I needed to hear it outloud. Once I did hear it, I wasn't angry anymore. Another lesson learned, thank you.

MMmmmm... philosophical post... I love 'em. Good quote, it really does make you think!
Truth. So elusive.
Freedom, often taken for granted.
PS...
My post is a song from a great album by Patti Smith..called People have the Power.
I don't know much about the bible...but that's a cool quote.
Isn't it interesting how something we see in passing will later slap us upside the head, and really make us think about something?
