TEACHERS : 

''' SOUL AND SOIL '''

'' HUGH CATCHPOLE MA. OXFORD '' THE ESTEEMED - GREATLY AND EVER HONOURED Teacher of the entire subcontinent lies in heavens and peace, buried in this great institution Cadet College, Hassanabdal, Pakistan.

Mr. Catchpole gave away his total wealth and belongings to his preferred institutions in Proud Pakistan. His death anniversary looms and his worthy students will gather to remember him in silence and respect. He will always remain a revered father figure.

'' The good that one does and accomplishes, is ever so often buried with the body,'' he once said to me in Abbottabad Public School, quoting Shakespeare. 

''But then, Sir, there are Cartographers of the Soul,'' I answered.

! FIRST AND FOREMOST ! ON !WOW! everybody - every student, is equal. Total power lies with the students of the world. Every income stream belongs to the students of the world. Never abuse this honour. Simply stay within greatness.

ON falsehood, lies, propaganda, adding to the problems of any state, demeaning and backstabbing, oozing racial, religious, and hypocrisy in any kind and form is totally banned with zero tolerance. Please consider '' Soul & Soil." 

'' DOES TRUTH MATTER ANYMORE? '' : Accessing, understanding and manipulating the truth has preoccupied and puzzled humans across history - and it continues to do so.

WE are said to live in a post-truth world. In 2016, the term was named '' Oxford Word of the Year.''

While the immediate motivation for the term may have been a description of Donald Trump's '' war on truth,'' in reality, the subversion of truth has been a strategy used for millennia by rulers, their emissaries and spies.

From the Trojan Horse to the falsehood of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, certainty and doubt, trust and deception keep exchanging places, confusing the general populations.

History is riddled with ' double speak '. While one hand is held out to help, the other is filling a pocket. Where the world sees genocide in Palestine, Zionists see the ' promised land '.

Artist Khalil Chishtee made a sculpture with plastic bags of two men embracing while each holds a gun behind his back.

Taking liberties with the truth is justified by advertisers, by politicians and by defence lawyers. It is considered acceptable because people are aware these are strategies and learn to read between the lines.

People learn to negotiate fake news, as the saying goes now '' Swipe for truth and scroll for doubt - the algorithm will sort it out.''

The real causality is not the lie, which time also reveals, but the loss of trust. Once the media, respected public personalities and institutions, and religious leaders were expected to be truthful.

Today, the public finds itself undefended left to navigate a minefield of partisan, managed or fake news. 

The loss of faith is understandable. Whether in America, or India or Pakistan, the public feels outrage that the officials paid by their taxes to protect their borders and streets, and manage government, are only protecting their own interests.

SEEKING the truth has occupied philosophers for millennia. We often use the word, yet cannot define it. Most people would say they just know in their heart of hearts or simply sense the truth.

Samuel Abel, the environmentalist and co-founder of the Eden Foundation concludes, we have no need of truth, it is more of pragmatic to accept shared beliefs, such as nationalism, cultural identity or religion, that Socrates called '' the noble lie'' even if they are completely made up.

This is because people cannot comprehend that truth in its purest sense or don't want to face uncomfortable truths. A person need not know how electricity is produced in order to turn on a lightbulb.

It is enough to experience the reality that, when a lamp is turned on the room gets lit.

While reality is an objective fact, truth tends to be subjective, measured by the limits of a person's own understanding. A car crash is the reality, but how it was caused can have multiple versions, each true in its own way.
