"the truth is rarely pure and never simple" oscar wilde
as this blog lingers i am pursued by the feeling that i should be a little less factual and a little more human. more....honest. i dont think the world needs more honesty per say....i think the world is an honest enough place as it is.
nothing is black in white, everyone has a painful secret or something they cannot tell you.
that shouldnt always be a bad thing.
a friend and i spoke recently of honesty, they informed me that i was not as honest as i could have been in certain situations.....i admitted it, then told them the same of themselves, they were a little offended initially....then they conceded that i too was correct.
the truth, is never one thing or another purely, its complicated to say the least, being blunt and truthful at all times will leave you friendless and love less. discretion is the better part of valor....we are all human, that is the ultimate truth....we all need to spend more than one sentence trying to understand what the truth is.....sometimes it can take me years to get the truth out of something....and i am not yet that old.
the truth is paramount, but its telling it is never simple nor one sided....the truth is....i have a lot of good in me, and so does everyone i hold dear.....the world is better that way. id rather spend my days understanding my friends, than understanding the truth.
my heart is in the right place....it wont ever move, and i am thankful for that. i have tried to make it move, as has the world, and it will not.
i am thankful.
i am truthful, and thats more important than trying to wrest the truth into being one sentence long.
