Guardians of the truth
They come in many guises do these guardians. Ardent and fixated they push and battle their truths to the fore.
It has dawned on me that dogma is often a response to doubt and the cognitive dissonance such doubt generates.
I'm peeved to confess that sometimes the guardian of truth is me. When I see myself playing that role then I look at myself and wonder where I'm feeling weak and in need of bolstering my own dogma. Real truth can handle itself, and my prime responsibility is to submit myself to it. When I'm bashing other people over the head with my truth, it is quite possibly not truth at all, but instead my own failing faith clinging to a simple dogma that shrouds the weakness.
