N-123who have a lot to loose rarely insist on the truth” (this is especially visible in politics). So thiscontradicts to popular opinion that “people of authority tell and promote the truth” (actually”people of authority have much more to loose than other people, thus in their interest liesmore to promote easily accepted untruth that to promote unpopular truths”). The above is alogical consequence of the regularity number #2 which stated that “truth is alwaysinconvenient”. So being aware of inconvenience of a “naked truth” people who are inpositions of authority and thus who do NOT want to be exposed to attacks of other peopleare going to rather stand on the other side than truth. This is because in the present moraland social climate “in the public life people reward others NOT for telling the truth, but fortelling what they would like to hear”. Because in the society that accomplished a higherlevel of wealth there is statistically more people who have something to loose by standingon the side of naked truth, the above means that “the higher prosperity of a given society,the less in it people inclined to stand on the side of truth”. This in turn leads to the paradoxsituation that:9. “The radical truths have a chance to prevail (i.e. to become commonly known)only due to people, social groups, or countries with a low social position or low state ofprosperity”. (This perhaps lies at the basis of the significance which almost every religionplaces on poverty and on poor people. Probably this is also the reason for which in presenttimes the truth about UFOs is promoted almost exclusively by people other than well-paidand highly thinking of themselves scientists.) As this is already indicated in item #6, thelearning a truth is linked to a learning various additional unknowns that provide a givenperson, a social group, or a country, with an significant advantage over all others.Furthermore, various non-material consequences of insisting on truth give to the adherersof it an additional moral advantage. So through promoting a given truth, countries, groups,or people of a lower prosperity or a lower position gradually exceed materially and spirituallythese other countries, groups or people of the higher prosperity. This in turn leads to thesituation from item #11. However, in order to NOT be forced to act against truth, in manycases:10. “People especially mature philosophically sometimes even resign from theirprofessional careers to NOT stand in opposition to truth”. This is especially noticeable inhighly talented people who on the early stage of their lives accomplished high positions.Many out of them, in spite that a further career still stands open for them, sometimes rapidlyresign from it in order to lead a quiet, although more happy, fulfilled, and deprived ofstresses life, in order to devote completely to their personal interests, family, etc. After acloser investigation of reasons for which they withdrawn from their previous careers, almostas a rule it turns out that in their opinion in present times the accomplishing of high positionscollides with the standing by truth. Therefore, according to their own moral standards, it isbetter to cease climbing up to the top, than to deprive ourselves the inner growth andhappiness. In the life-philosophies of many cultures, e.g. in the Chinese culture, thecontinuous seeking of truth and the promotion of truth, is one amongst three mostfundamental requirements, the fulfilment of which allows to accomplish the state of innerhappiness and satisfaction (other such requirements are: the correct spiritual attitude, andthe harmonious coexistence with other people). This ability to resign from career in thename of truth can also be expressed with the words, that ”people internally great do NOTneed to climb up in the hierarchy in order to prove their greatness” (the above works also inthe opposite direction, namely “some are climbing up the hierarchy in order to hide theirsmallness”). Unfortunately, not many people discover this regularity, thus happiness andthe fulfilled life usually are linked to the climbing to the top of prosperity, although:11. “Through tendency to ignore truth the prosperity contains the seeds of decay”.People, families, groups, organisations (e.g. political parties), institutions, or countries,which because of the prosperity that they accomplished, or because of the arriving to thetop, cease to place emphasis onto the promotion of truths, after some time are overtaken inone or the other way, and consequently also subdued, suppressed, or outlived, by these
