    Stalker Rule #11
    Stalker Rule #11: Truth is No One's Best Friend

    People might claim they know the truth. Even people have occupations that deal with the truth: stalkers, reporters, lawyers, etc. But it is foolish to think that truth is on anyone's side. Truth belongs to itself, and it brings to discomfort to many, including those who seek it.

    There is wisdom in the saying "ignorance is bliss". I mean what person knows all the truth about himself/herself. People have illusions, and more often than not, they cling to it as if their lives depended on it. And beleive me, stalkers are no exception. There are certain truths, not only about themselves but also about others, that they can't or refuse to see.

    Truth is a double-edged sword. People usually wield truth when they associate it with being on their side. But as I said, truth cuts both ways. When it doesn't suit those wielding it, they refuse to continue carrying the burden of truth. It is only useful to them so far as it coincides with their aims. Thus truth is twisted, manipulated, and even concealed. That only goes to show that truth belongs to itself and not on anyone's side.

    No matter what you may beleive, each one of us has illusions that we refuse or can't distinguish from the truth. And while a stalker should strive for the truth, one should always bear this limitation in mind. And it also helps to know that not everything the other person beleives is true. Just because he or she says she is kind or independent does not mean it is necessarily so. They might beleive it, but it is not automatically make it true. And just because you are sure of your info does not mean it is true or will always remain to be so.
