A care for truth is having a desire for truth that motivates and drives us to seek truth. We are drawn towards learning because we want to know and understand things better.
Seeking truth expands out conscious awareness of reality. Seeking truth is not only about understanding the external world, but also about understanding the internal world of ourselves, of our consciousness-psyche-self. Expanding our awareness of quality truths, such as moral truth, increases the level of consciousness we have. We can see things more clearly, and act more wisely.
A lack of care for truth will inhibit our ability to seek truth because we don't care enough to take the time, energy, effort, persistence, determination and dedication to dig into things and find out the truth of the matter.
Not having a desire for truth means we don't go looking into things if they are uncomfortable or hard to bear. It out keeps us in a static and stagnated condition of ignorance where we accept a lack of understanding of important aspects of our reality and our lives that may make us feel bad for learning them.
We end up only caring about our little corner of reality, our little zones of comfort that relate to us personally. A way of living that: as long as my life appears "good", then it's all "good". If it doesn't appear to affect my "truth", my "freedom", my "survival" or my "life", then it's not pertinent to look into and learn about.
The trinity of unconsciousness is where -- instead of expanding consciousness -- we are stagnating in a state of unconsciousness where we lack awareness and are unconscious to greater truths about reality or ourselves.
Instead of having care and desire for truth, we don't care because we are apathetic to the importance of truth in our lives: "I don't care". This is a state of apathy where we lack the drive and motivation to learn about important quality truths.
Instead of wanting and gaining knowledge, we don't seek truth, and we stay in a state of not knowing: "I don't know". This is a state of ignorance where we aren't interested in knowing more.
Instead of being informed with knowledge and understanding to bring us to a position of being able to have the courage to act wisely through alignment with truth -- especially moral truth, to stand for truth and moral truth, to exert the energy and effort to stand for things that matter more -- we don't want to act in truth: "I don't feel like doing it". This is a state of cowardice and laziness where we don't grow towards the wisdom of right-action.
You can tell when someone is stuck in a state of unconscious living, in this trinity of unconsciousness. You an ask people regarding a topic, or even in general:
"Do you know the problem?"
And they will answer:
"I don't know, and I don't care"
They don't care to know the truth about something, because they lack care for truth. The desire for truth is pretty "dead" inside, in a coffin, in darkness. The fire or flame of desire and care for truth is not burning brightly.
When the flame isn't energizing us into seeking truth, to know, understand and be wiser, to act with courage in alignment with truth, we became apathetic, ignorant, cowardly and lazy in some aspects, such as towards living in truth, especially moral truth.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
