What is truth?

How do we acquire it?

And once we believe we’ve found it—how do we hold onto it without it slipping through our fingers?

When I close my eyes, my mind fills with a swirl of colors—noise translated into motion. Voices, opinions, headlines, fragments of conviction—all pressing in at once. It’s overwhelming.

Social media doesn’t just inform—it pulls.

It nudges.

It persuades.

Especially now, with tensions rising in the Middle East, everything feels sharpened into sides:

for the war or against it,

for Israel or against it.

As if the world is asking a question that demands an immediate answer.

As if hesitation is weakness.

As if neutrality is ignorance.

But what if it isn’t?

What if it’s honesty?

I don’t know enough to decide if this war is justified.

And I think there is something quietly truthful in admitting that.

There is a pressure to belong to a side—because sides create certainty.

Certainty feels safe.

But certainty, when built on incomplete understanding, isn’t truth.

It’s comfort.

So I choose, for now, to stand in limbo.

Not out of indifference,

but out of respect for the weight of what I don’t yet understand.

Maybe truth isn’t something we grab and hold tightly.

Maybe it’s something we approach carefully—

with humility,

with patience,

and with the willingness to say:

I don’t know yet.
