Even the truth I tell about the story that is my life is nothing more than my version of the truth of my life. There are other versions of the story that add more facts. More detail. More insight. More truth.
Mr. or Mrs. or Miss Anonymous gets credit for the following quote, and its a good one: "Beware of the half truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half."
The whole truth may be elusive, but we probably know it when we hear it, or see it, or read it. Maybe the best truth-sensor is, in fact, how we feel when we run into it...or when it runs into us.
Don't be afraid of the truth. Don't try to avoid it. And for sure, do not pretend it isn't there, when you know for a fact that it is. Dealing with truth in those ways could just bite in you in the back-side.
If the truth is in the room with you, its probably a good thing to acknowledge it, to give it sway, to make future plans accordingly.
One more thing, its very true that the truth will set you free...but more often than not, it will...it really will...piss you off first.
True, that.
