Is there any place for the 'truth' in writing?

VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS BLOG ARE MY OWN AND NOT OF BLOG SPOT AND AUTHOR STUDY....

Emily Dickinson says, 'Tell all the Truth but tell it slant...The Truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind'. I believe Dickinson is saying that the truth must be told slowly, and not bluntly or quickly, like the ripping of a plaster. But surely, if you are going to tell the truth, it should be told exactly how it is? So, why shouldn’t there be a place for it in writing? In contrast, it doesn’t matter how it is told, as long as the truth is known. Truth, in this writer's opinion, is not commonly revealed. News reporters for example, don’t tell the truth; novel writers, most of the time, write so the reader (and themselves) experience escapism. Why should we escape? Why shouldn’t we face the truth? Are we so vulnerable that we can’t handle the truth? Do we all play a part in A Few Good Men? I mean, I would rather a world (in literature also) in which we know everything rather than a world where we live in ignorance. Ignorance isn’t bliss, its retarded. There shouldn’t be anyone saying ‘we can’t know this’ or ‘ we shouldn’t know that’.  Why should anyone be in the position to decide what is good for us?  There is a place for truth in writing, like there is a place for it everywhere. Sure we all want to escape from something one time or another, visit another world, or another place, anywhere but here. But, I’d rather face the truth full on, lay it on me. To conclude, truth is my natural resource and I want it back.
