We must find the courage in our everyday lives to question all governmental and social authority. If we do not question what is told to us, then, the ability to say that we "earned" our own lives will be nothing short of a lie. As individuals on a personal quest, the more knowledge that we have that has been determined by our discrimination's and not by the face value of what others have told us, is what we really earn as our own personal truths. The more we question, the more we find, and then the more we really know.
Truth, is not in the eye of the beholder. Truth, is an established reality based off of our hearts discrimination to know right from wrong. Truth is simple, and lies are complex. If the situation calls for more "facts" then the underlying truth is being covered by more lies. The truth of ultimate reality in anything, is simple and easy. A child is truth to all mankind because a child's wants are simple and primal. As we grow, we find we have compounded the primal and simple with more information. Later this becomes confusing rhetoric when we ask ourselves why we feel and act the way we do.
The authorities around us keep control of the masses by dispensing their version of empathetic, filtered knowledge. By taking this route with telling us what to do and believe, they have invested a sense of security in themselves. Keeping ourselves dumb, is the cage that imprisons our sovereignty, and gives permission to tyrants to enslave us.
Question everything you know, question everything that is taught and said, and question anyone who is trying to gain the upper hand over you. By doing this, you may not become the smartest person anyone knows, but you will become the person that no one owns.

agreed. It's been said that the path to knowing starts with admitting that you don't know anything. I think the same can be said about truth. To often people take for granted the information we are offered by our superiors or the authorities who we look for to offer the "truth".
However, reality isn't so transparent. Bare in mind that there are millions of perspectives, each offering their own version of the truth. It's best to be cautious with this mode of question as at times it can become overwhelming. Realize how much of the information we take in can that can be question to obscurity can be hurtful to your own psyche. I know this from personal experience. Going down that rabbit hole may often times reveal to yourself things you may not be ready to accept about the world, you, and humanity in general. The insecurity of existence rest on our ability to comprehend what is knowable and what isn't.
I know the quote is over used but..."Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
