Here's another one: Can you remember the most recent lie you told?
One more: Can you remember the most recent lie someone told you?
Honks you off when someone does that, doesn't it? Me, too.
The truth will honk me off! Really?
Remember the famous movie scene where Tom Cruse tells Jack Nicholson, "You can't handle the truth!!!" Sure you do. If you don't remember that scene then you need to stop reading this blog-post right now and go rent "A Few Good Men" and watch it!
OK, now that we all are familiar with that line, we need to think about how true the line is in the picture I posted above. There are plenty of times that the truth has the power to really honk me off! Probably you, too.
The trick is to not stay mad only, but to do something about the maddening truth you have just learned.
If you need to apologize to someone, go do it.
If you need to change some behavior, do it.
If you need to let folks know you are changing some aspect of your life based on this new truth you have learned, do it.
If you need to go march, or demonstrate, or rage against the machine, do it.
Be very careful, however, that you get the truth straight...it would be a real shame to fall for another lie.
Its probably a good thing to remember that the whole truth is not always found in one big clump somewhere, more often it is found spread around in several locations and must be pieced together very carefully.
