Here is something interesting I read on “X” recently: “A take: The more you travel, the less politically extreme you become.” That is an interesting “take,” for sure, and I have no doubt that for some people, that is probably their experience. But it isn’t mine because of the title of this article: truth never changes.

I’ve traveled some in my life (to about 15 different countries), having been to Europe and Asia, though never Africa, South America, or Australia. I’ve lived most of the last 15 years in Asia, spent a few years in England, and have dwelt approximately 20 years of my life outside the United States. So, I’ve “traveled,” seen many interesting things and cultures, but I’ve never seen one thing, in all of my travels and overseas living, that changes the title and theme of this essay: truth never changes.

Truth is truth is truth, folks, and indeed, I have learned many things in the course of my 70-year earthly sojourn. But anything that I learned that was “true” 50 years ago is just as true today as it was when I first learned it. For example, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States in 1860. That is a fact, a truth, and it always will be. Nothing will ever change that. We have irrefutable evidence that proves such. It was true in 1860, it was true in 1861, it is true in 2025, it is true in America, it is true in Thailand, it is true in China, and every place else on earth. It was true yesterday, it will be true tomorrow, it will be true 5,000 years from now. And it is true whether people know it or believe it or not. A lot of people on earth don’t know that Lincoln was elected President in 1860, but that doesn’t change........
