Hesel Ojieh argues that truth goes deeper than facts. When he focused only on factual statements like "nothing works," he felt empty. Reframing those facts into personal truths can fill the void and spark change.

Let me tell you, truth is greater, far greater than fact. Fact is incomplete. Fact is incomplete. Fact— don't look at your life. There were days I could sit down in my life, the days I would sit down and say, you know what, my life feels empty. When I pick the glass of my life, I try to drink, I try to celebrate, there's nothing to celebrate. I begin to realize that if it's not in there is because it's the fact, it's a matter of fact. But what if the fact can be turned to truth in my life? You see, facts is empty. They are misinterpretations. Facts are misinterpretations of data. Facts are misinterpretations of the real variables. The problem with you is that you are stuck in the matter of fact, the emptiness of your life. And that's why nothing is happening in your life, because you're stuck with the fact that things are not working and it will never work because the matter of fact is messing up your life.
