“Truth” is sometimes just silly shibboleth’s.
Inspired by a lot of what I’ve learnt in my history courses. A lot of what was widely believed as truth is often proven to be nothing more than popular beliefs with little or no actual evidence. It has a lot to do with social norms, the benefits of these “truths” and more. Is there anything you believed fully that turned out to be untrue? Let me know in the comments below.

“Truth” is sometimes just silly shibboleth. “
Shibboleths: easily spouted, but laboriously opposed.
Wow love that addition!
That word is probably responsible for quite a few scrabble murders.
Can’t wait to use it on someone and have them go absolutely berserk…
Broken promises+ dreaded experiences+ non existent love🤝💔
Most love stories 😥
So true I can relate!!!❤️🩹
What a nice word. I’ve always wondered if there should be a word for this. I’ve never known this word, but it happens almost every day. People do their own self censuring and tow the party line or whatever political correctness that is currently in vogue. On TV and online. If one is not deliberately seeking those niche broadcast, one is surely get bombarded by cliches.
Yeah when I found this word I thought it was very useful lol. I see people try to be PC when that thing is trending and then just not care at all and be as offensive as ever. Lol humans are very amusing with their hypocrisy.
The word originated in the Bible, where the Hebrew word šibbōleṯ, meaning ‘ear of corn’, was used as a test of the nationality of their enemies the Ephraimites, since the “sh” sound did not exist in the Ephraimite dialect. It is found in the Book of Judges (12:4-6)

Heart’s noise isn’t just vague shibboleth.
Love that addition!
You’re so right about people have their own truths, especially in history!
Thanks and it’s kind of frustrating which is what inspired this lol!
That’s actually kind of deep.
I finally did it- I wrote something deep (unintentionally)
That’s the only way I’ve ever done it.
Shibboleth is really just fake news…
Lol true!
🤓
The conventional ones, they always are.
Great addition!
Ooh, I love this word
Me too!
Truth is just shibboleths distorted reflection
Ooh that’s a deep one!
You have one too many apostrophes.
But, an excellent word choice, Pooja. One of my favorites!
Thanks for letting me know- I suck at grammar lol. Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The truth is there is no truth
True lol!
“Yet inside, she died a little”
