Miss Edna’s Rant: “Your Truth” Is Just a Fancy Name for a Lie
Oh, honey. Grab a seat and brace yourself, because Miss Edna is about to clear something up that shouldn’t need clarifying in the first place.
We are living in an age where people have decided that truth is optional. It used to be that when you got caught lying, you at least had the decency to be embarrassed. Now? Now, folks just slap the phrase “That’s my truth” on their nonsense like it’s some kind of divine shield against reality.
Well, sugar, truth is not a Build-a-Bear workshop where you get to pick and choose what makes you feel cozy inside. There is the truth, and then there are feelings, preferences, and straight-up delusions. And I don’t care how much you like your version of reality—if it’s built on lies, it’s still going to crumble.
Wanting Something to Be True Doesn’t Make It True
I don’t know how to break this to you, but just because you say something with confidence doesn’t make it a fact.
- “I feel like I’m a millionaire.”
Well, sweetheart, if your bank account says $4.73, your feelings don’t matter. You are broke. - “I identify as someone who doesn’t need to pay taxes.”
Try telling that to the IRS and see if they honor your truth. I’ll wait. - “I’m not speeding! I feel like the speed limit should be 80.”
That’s adorable, but when the cop hands you a ticket, you’d better be prepared to argue your truth in court. - “I was late for work, but my truth is that time is a social construct.”
Oh, sweetie, you’ll have plenty of time to explore that philosophy after you get fired.
This nonsense is out of control, and the worst part? People aren’t just lying to others—they’re lying to themselves.
A Christian Perspective: The Truth Is Not Up for Debate
Let me remind you what actual truth is:
📖 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” — John 14:6
📖 “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” — John 17:17
And since we’re on the subject, let’s go ahead and throw in this well-known verse:
📖 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32
Now, before anyone clutches their pearls, yes—I know Jesus was talking about spiritual freedom and salvation in this verse. But if there was ever a time to apply this scripture to another area of life, this is it.
Because, sugar, truth is freeing. Living in reality—even when it’s hard—is freeing. But living in a lie? That’s bondage. If you are constantly bending reality to suit your own comfort, guess what? You are not free—you are shackled to a delusion that is only going to get heavier as time goes on.
And if you don’t like what the truth says, that’s a you problem—not a truth problem.
Truth Hurts, but Lies Will Destroy You
We have entire generations growing up believing that reality is whatever they want it to be. We have people re-writing history, redefining basic biology, and throwing tantrums when reality doesn’t conform to their preferences.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but:
- 🛑 A man is not a woman just because he says he is.
- 🛑 Math doesn’t change just because you don’t like the answer.
- 🛑 Marriage is not whatever you want it to be—it is a covenant, not a participation trophy.
- 🛑 Hard work is not oppression.
- 🛑 The truth is not hateful just because it makes you uncomfortable.
People are out here twisting reality like a balloon animal, hoping that if they bend it enough, it’ll become something cute and palatable. But, sweetheart, truth doesn’t work like that.
Miss Edna’s Final Thought: The Lie You Prefer Will Be Your Downfall
I’ll leave you with this, sugar. You can believe whatever foolishness you want, but at the end of the day:
- 🔹 You can’t “identify” your way out of consequences.
- 🔹 Your feelings will never override facts.
- 🔹 And no matter how many times you say something, a lie will never become the truth.
So do yourself a favor: learn to love the truth, even when it’s inconvenient. Because reality doesn’t change to suit your feelings—but it sure will wreck you if you ignore it.
