holding fragile truth in cracks of my hands fearing dissipation of cherished fragrances shedding of petals which adorn life petals which perish but blossom again in new colors, shapes define sensibilities give new dimensions to senses in a post-truth era and fix all fixers

I think that truth still matters… it’s just being fashionable to lie, but soon there will come a child saying that the emperor has no clothes.

I’ve been that child for long, but nobody listens. Communities and loyalty matters more.

Petals that perish and blossom once again – like chapters in life. A superb and thought-provoking quadrille, Reena. Thank you for participating.

Should we look forward to a post truth era?

A mythological tale describes a bull standing on four legs – austerity, cleanliness, kindness and truth. Close inspection by Lod Krishna shows him bleeding – he has lost one leg in each era, and truth is the last one he is standing on.
Another fable describes this as the age of Kalki (technology), and we see that overtaking the world. AR and VR are creating different dimensions of reality.
How can I say my truth is truer than yours, or my reality more authentic than yours?
