The House of Truth

“From the womb to the market, from the market to the grave…” says Yunus.^【1】 

The first gift to a human being is a home; the first trust is shelter. The home is humanity’s refuge; to be deprived of it is the gravest injustice possible. For our existence derives its foundation from truth. A person who loses truth becomes like a tree without roots, toppled by the wind.

Everything has its limit; every being has its end. Objects appear familiar to us through their visible aspects, yet their existence rests upon an invisible foundation. When that foundation is lost, the totality we call “the world” fractures.

The greatest duty of a human being is to find this foundation. One who discovers truth resists injustice; one who fails to find truth cannot even defend their own existence. For one who does not know truth cannot bear the weight of their own being.

A human being is born into the world from the mother’s womb; yet in truth they bring with them their own world. Education culture and society offer us ready-made molds, but these cannot replace true understanding. That innermost birth is the moment when a person comes closest to reality. Obscuring it alienates a person from themselves.

True construction is not achieved with stone or pen but with understanding and justice. Just as a building requires a solid foundation to stand firm, so too must a human being anchor their existence in truth. Every structure built upon a foundation other than truth is doomed to collapse like a building erected on the edge of a cliff.

Every child arrives in the world equipped to dismantle injustice. For human beings are not merely born to live but to establish truth. To build a world is not to invent a new order but to bind one’s existence to truth.

In the end it must be known: when a human being forgets truth they lose their home. When they cling to truth all the walls of injustice crumble. For the owner of truth is God; the human being is merely a guest entrusted with that truth.
