More lies

There’s a paradox in practicing the truth and it is this; if you are very honest with those that you love and you care about them then you may find yourself ‘editing’ yourself, your thoughts and behaviors, such that you never inflict pain.

This is the emotional equivalent of the practices of a good Christian who doesn’t sin and therefore has no need for confession. Possibly that Christian would be very bottled up and would carry their pain with them to the grave.

In life, there is no truth greater that “no pain, no gain”.

The good book, the new testament, should have had this written on the cover “these are just guidelines, lassy’. Or “don’t panic”.

My belief is that the means to escape this paradox is to own all your own pain even if you feel it is the fault of a loved one. They will eventually catch on, or not.

This was the central message of our good mate, Jesus the prophet. Hence, how ironic that his followers totally misunderstood him and turned his beliefs into rules.
