Truth can be found in numerous places, in the heart, in a book, in knowledge, within our souls, etc. In today’s world some truths are found on the Internet but more often than not the lies abound. We, as a species, always strive to seek the truth but sometimes we find ourselves believing the lies over the truth, i.e.; “They have weapons of mass destruction.” When we find that we have been lied to then we become indignant, angry and embarrassed that we were fool enough to fall for it.

So how do we separate what is truth from what is not when we cruise the Internet? Well one simple way is to visit the website www.snopes.com Snopes works hard to seperate the truth from the lies and they bother to take the time to seek the truth out in the hundreds of emails that flood your inbox every year. Another site that helps separate the lies from the truth is www.thesmokinggun.com Can you imagine how many emails would disappear from your inbox if your friends and family would bother to do thier research and check thier facts before sending out the latest, “Ronald Reagon gave Osama Bin Laden the Congressional Medal of Honor” email? Hmmm, hope I haven’t started a new email lie with that one.

One of the best tools that you have for seperating the lies from the truth sits at the top of your neck and is housed within your skull. God granted you with a brain and I am pretty sure he expected you to use it. It is way to easy to be gullible because as a species we have an ingrained desire to believe. Next time you get an email take a moment and actually think about what it contains before you forward it out into our electronic Universe. If you take a moment to separate the ridiculous fiction from the self evident truth you might be amazed at what you find.
