Loved every motivating word of this piece. Are you sure you aren’t a great-great granddaughter of Sam Adams or Joan of Arc? Few people can read the heart of a truth seeking, freedom loving patriot the way you have just done here.

Oxford Dictionary selected “post-truth” as 2016 Word of the Year. According to Oxford Dictionary, post-truth means “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief”. Sadly, we are progressing from postmodernism to a post-truth world view. Post-truth accepts that there is an objective truth out there, but we may or may not choose to embrace it, depending on what is convenient at the time. Where we could combat postmodernism by showing that you cannot have a multitude of truths, post-truth is harder to combat because people are willing to lie or tell the truth depending on what is best for them.
