My name is Echeme Emole. I am a junior political science major at San Jose State University, my hope is to become a lawyer after I graduate college and after the completion of law school. The blog title "Truth Versus Delusion" appealed to me when I was trying to come up with a blog name because I firmly believe that most humans face a dilemma in their lifetime between believing the truth about a person or situation or believing in the delusion.
For example, in my Religion and Political Controversy class today. My professor was forced to come to terms with the fact that Billy Graham her hero was a bigot as pointed out by one of the students in class. She admitted that she already knew this but she preferred to maintain the noble picture of Billy Graham that she had always had. On one hand, the truth about Billy Graham was that he was a bigot, the delusion about him was that he was a saint.
Another example given in the same class was Martin Luther King's infidelity while he was married. Martin Luther King is viewed as a role model by modern day society, rarely does the topic of him sleeping with other women while he was married come up. There is the truth about Martin Luther King on one hand, and on the other hand there is the delusion of Martin Luther King.
In conclusion, that is how the title of this blog came about.
