True Love is Born from Understanding

Postcard CZ-561866 from Czech shows "Buddha Moon" produced by Tushita, a Germany based calendar and card publishers of ethnic and spiritual editions in the last 30 years, as a Sangha Edition. In Buddhism, Sangha (僧伽) means the monastic community of ordained Buddhist monks or nuns.

At the beginning of the New Year, I found one of the Budda quotes especially telling: "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."

Die Wahrheit übers Lügen

Postcard DE-1599666 from Germany had a simple note: Die Wahrheit übers Lügen, meaning the truth about lying. Mark Twain once wrote in his 1882 essay On the Decay of the Art of Lying: "Everybody lies -- every day; every hour; awake; asleep; in his dreams; in his joy; in his mourning," People tell lies to save face, to shift blame, to avoid confrontation, to get undeserved benefit, to be nice, or to feel better about themselves. More seriously, criminals tell lies to evade justice and cover up crimes. CIA even lied about their spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee who were investigating the CIA’s torture program. However, the truth about lying is that the truth will ultimately prevail in spite of the pains to bring it to light.

Die Wahrheit übers Lügen was the second album by Farin Urlaub Racing Team and the fourth album by Farin Urlaub, a German musician and songwriter.
