“…the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think.
But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants is the liberty of appearing.”
When we stop thinking for ourselves, whether through fear or laziness, truth is often the first casualty.
But as Thomas Paine states in Rights of Man, the truth will pay no heed to such frailties and only awaits its discovery; patient and wanting nothing more.
