It’s been almost a year since I last posted an article, and a lot has happened since then. The world has become a series of tumultuous events, starting with a pandemic, and then continuing to the war in Europe. One of the striking revelations to me was that even though we’re in the 21st century, being devoted to the truth and courageously exposing it is still a behavior subjected to the cancellation of a human being.
The suppression of the truth and fighting for the same reminds me of a man who courageously stood up for what’s right, justifiable, honorable, divine, and enlightening; a protector of the truth; the one and only Giordano Bruno.
Giordano Bruno, an Italian philosopher and theologian born as Filippo Bruno, was a man of great honor and pride regarding his ideas and beliefs. He did not abandon his beliefs, even when subjected to cruel torture by the Roman Inquisition. When someone asked me who is the Giordano Bruno of today, I now have an answer: all people who stand by the divine truth which is an absolute reality, i.e., the absolute truth of the universe, and are ready to protect it no matter what, just as Bruno did in the 1500s.
In today’s society, propaganda is almost everywhere. We’re unaware of it most of the time until it strikes like a rumble of thunder. One good example is the spread of Covid-19 misinformation. It’s easy to make false statements without conducting proper research and analysis. In many cases, this research and analysis take time to develop and comprehend.
Like Bruno, we should always strive and stand firmly for what’s righteous, that is, what makes the truth worth fighting for. His sacrifice of giving his own life for that same truth deserves to be justified. The path we choose as individuals is solely up to us. Building trust is the path to mutual success.
