Would you like to visit a far away place called the Land of Truth? If the answer is yes, you may discover it\u2019s not easy to find. In truth, it\u2019s a place shrouded in mystery\u2014so distant and unfamiliar many of us have forgotten it even exists. To get there, just squint your eyes and gaze to the far horizon. As you focus into the distance, remember to gaze past the shores of the Land of Spin and the Land of Lies. Steel yourself, for you\u2019ll need to resist the comforts and easy seductions of those less-taxing destinations.<\/p>\n
If on the journey your determination wanes and you can\u2019t quite make it to the promised land on your own, there\u2019s actually someone out there waiting to shepherd you onward.
