Truth Is Often Rejected Because It Demands Change
There is a widespread assumption, rarely spoken but deeply believed, that truth will eventually be accepted if it is communicated clearly, patiently, and with genuine goodwill. When resistance appears, the instinct is to search for error in tone, framing, or explanation. The underlying belief is simple: if the truth were presented well enough, rejection would disappear. This belief is comforting, but it is false. History, Scripture, and lived experience all point in the same direction. Truth is often rejected not because it is unclear, but because it is costly.

From Script to Structure: The Film Project “Share (!) Yourself” In 2020 the screenplay competition organised by “The Palace / The Palace of the Happy People” gathered nearly one hundred texts from across Bulgaria.
