The truth is not as straightforward as it seems. There are many truths, some of them more honest than others. On most issues there are multiple truths you can choose.

Your choice of truth will influence how those around you perceive an issue and react to it. Your choice of truth and what you share with others, says a lot about who you are.

You may feel better believing that there is one truth, and thinking that everyone who does not see things the way you do simply does not have the truth. That is not true.

Everyone has a lens, that is distorted by what they want, how they see the World, and their biases. The most dangerous truths are the credible ones that you convince yourself is correct.

We all lie, but not everyone is a liar.

Sadly, you are always the first victims of your lies. You live in your own little World of self-created lies and avoid the truth of what is expected from your life experience.

This drains great energy and creates an even greater amount of stress. Some even turn to illegal drugs, but drugs only preserve your dishonesty because they give you the false impression that everything is fine.

The truth may hurt for a little while but a lie hurts forever.
