"This is what the truth feels like"

There is a new album out by that name. Says Wikipedia,

Inspired by the end of her marriage and the roller coaster of emotions she experienced during the time, which also included a new romantic relationship, Stefani returned to feel inspired and started writing new and meaningful songs.

You can get the picture. Her marriage broke up, she felt hurt and now she has started a new relationship and she wants to feel vindicated. Well, who hasn't felt that.

I was feeling that myself today. Someone who once caused me pain caused other people pain this morning. When I found out about it, I felt good. It's odd that when you believe that someone is a nasty little shit, they can actually make you feel better by confirming your belief. But would anyone say that feeling is "what truth feels like"?

Only if you thought vindication and truth were identical.

There is no particular feeling that goes with truth.

It says something, and nothing good, about our culture that truth and feeling have become linked.
