Art can tell The Truth

Perhaps the greatest burden of humans is the responsibility of declaring the truth.  When most believe or act as if they believe in all truth being relative the burden is increased.  To have placed before your name, Professor, means you have been deemed responsible for knowing the truth of your discipline and professing it to others.  Not only have I never gotten over that fact but its burden has increased over time.  Knowing the truth is extremely easy, “you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”, getting others to believe it is not.  And there lies the key.  It is never my responsibility for those under my watchcare to accept the truth much less act upon it, my only responsibility is to clearly and unceasingly profess it.  What causes the responsibility to be truly burdensome is how few will believe that Art can profess The Truth.
