Truth disregards whether it will be accepted

  Truth often disregards whether it will be heard, whether it will be accepted. It does not back down to those who shame it. As someone once said, it goes forth boldly and nobly.
 Truth is not always welcome. If it challenges those things we currently believe, and challenges our alliances we already have, we reject it.
  But, it speaks, the same. It often does not demur. There are times truth assesses the battlefield, and determines not to make an entrance, knowing the battle is lost. But, at other times, it determines it will live with those losses but must go to battle, the same. Truth fights its battles, even when the battles are lost. It knows the enemy, and it knows the enemy will sometimes be stronger.
