Truth does not depend on popularity, status, credentials, or personal flaws—it stands on its own merit. Those who dismiss a message solely because of who delivers it often do so to avoid engaging with what is being said.
History shows that many vital truths were first spoken by imperfect, unpopular, or inconvenient voices. Wisdom requires discernment: examine the substance, test it against facts and principles, and judge it honestly. When attention is fixed on the message, deception loses its cover and truth has room to be recognized.
