The same way 'we end up here'... every year...
... by never leaving here.
*
It is not I... who celebrates a lie.
Does that... not account for something?
That none of you celebrate the same lie...
... accounts for nothing...
... for the lies that all of you celebrate...
... are still lies.
*
I know the truth. My eyes are open.
Surely... I am more enlightened than my fellow kind?
That you believe your ignorance to be inviolable knowledge...
... is hubris...
... the same hubris you attribute to your fellow kind...
... while you attribute to your self...
... the lie of your superiority and infallible authority.
*
I know the truth.
My truth is the truth.
Therefore, your 'truth' is the lie.
Thus lie believers...
... believe lies...
... without ever regarding...
... the truth.
Thus no truth...
... shatters the stronghold of lie believers...
... who testify lies lies lies.
*
You are the liar.
It is you who testifies lies.
Is it...?
Still... you wonder...
... how we end up here.
*
You can not prove your 'truth' to be true.
Therefore, your 'truth' is not true.
Proofs of truths that are fortresses of ignorance...
... prove nothing.
*
We end up here...
... because liars like you...
... poison the ignorant against the enlightened.
We end up here...
... because the lies you believe...
... are still lies...
... including...
... the lie that believing oneself enlightened...
... proves oneself enlightened...
... thereby entitling oneself to Thrones of Honor and Titles of Virtue.
*
In the end...
... we end up here...
... because celebrating lies... is socially rewarding...
... because hubris... is personally satisfying...
... because me me me... is who I, I, I believe...
... because proofs... that we invent to exploit... are tools of the trade that legitimize beliefs that regard not the truth...
... because never leaving here... means never repudiating, never denying, never surrendering... our strongholds of lie believers, our fortresses of ignorance, our entitlements to thrones and titles, our lies lies lies...
... that gratify our pride, our vanity, our hatred, our lust for more more more at the expense of every virtue, every honor, and...
... the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

There is no present... more worthy as a gift... than the truth...
There is no present... more worthy of the truth... than now...

Addendum
Enlightenment and ignorance are lenses through which the enlightened legitimize their entitlement to thrones and titles.
*
Verily... such lenses blind the enlightened to the truth...
... that the pride, the vanity, the hatred, the lust... deplored and condemned as rampant vices of the ignorant...
... also prospers virulently amidst the enlightened.
For...
... what else... but this very pride, this very vanity, this very hatred, this very lust... fuels the illegitimacy of entitlements per lenses?
Regardless of lens...
... the enlightened are no more entitled to thrones and titles, than the ignorant are entitled to poverty and disempowerment.
*
Likewise... enlightenment and ignorance are lenses through which the ignorant legitimize their repudiation and denial of all beliefs but their own.
*
Verily... such lenses blind the ignorant to the truth...
... that errors of reason, errors of knowledge, errors of belief... ridiculed and scorned as vacuous bombasts of the enlightened...
... also proliferate virulently amidst the ignorant.
For...
... what else... but this very error of reason, this very error of knowledge, this very error of belief... fuels the illegitimacy of repudiation and denial of beliefs per beliefs?
Regardless of belief...
... the ignorant are no more entitled to pedestals of loyal zealotry, than the enlightened are entitled to lecterns of wanton contempt.
