discuss Do people prefer strength to truth?

It's the same idea as someone saying "Eggs have to broken to make an omelet, lol".

I think some people prefer strength to truth, valuing confidence or dominance, like a bold leader at a work meeting, over honesty, which can feel vulnerable. Yet, I find truth, like admitting mistakes over coffee, builds deeper trust and lasting respect.

That sums it up.

You really need both attributes in a strong leader, someone who can firmly tell the truth so that others will accept it more easily.

Some environments are rough, like the one here (in this rural area), so obviously people are into pickup trucks and pro-wrestling style confrontations.

It can depend on the individual and the situation, but often, people may pit more focus on strength, whether it's physical, emotional, or authoritative, over truth, especially when it provides a sense of control or security. Strength can be comforting, as it offers protection and stability. However, truth is essential for long-term growth, authenticity, and meaningful connections.

I got two female relatives who were grade schoolteachers. They tend to treat even adults in a "talking down to" manner.

Causation may not equal correlation in these situations. Just because they talk down in their instruction to kids may not be why they talk down to adults. I see many people with degrees, which is required to teach, talk down to those with skills.

Could it be that since they are "educated", they are talking down to the other adults in the room?

They're definitely "wiser than thou" smarty-pants

I don't know if this is applicable to other countries but in my home country, people often prioritize strength over truth. They forget that being honest can foster deeper connections and create trust in the long run.

These days it seems like people are choosing strength over truth. Human beings have always worshiped strong people. That's why our epics are filled with the stories of strong men.

Truth is no longer a value. You can be truthful to high heavens but people that are stronger than you financially would always be preferred. The moral value of the world has been depleted almost beyond repairs.

Some value dominance, but honest vulnerability fosters deeper trust, respect, and genuine human connection.
