But truth is found at other junctures along the road. It should not surprise us, yet it does, that truth can spring forth in dark, often ultra-violent and hideous manifestations, from which we sicken and gag in primal horror – as well as ogle in morbid fascination. Yes, as a Palestinian prophet once said, sometimes the truth will make you free, but often as not, the reality of it may gnaw at you like a perpetually undigested bit of something you really wish you hadn’t eaten ! ...
