What matters, what doesn't matter. Do you not know the difference between

truth and fact? Force-fed a list of facts of

what makes you right, what makes you good

in this cookie-cutter-clustered world, you are the same. To shake you, to smack you across the mind with truth and liberation, forcing you to re-examine all that you have been taught.* Truth is a self-inflicted antibiotic for the soul.

The fact of the matter is that truth matters more.

*Reference to Walt Whitman’s preface to the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass.
