I've been thinking a lot about "Truth". My mom always used to say, "no matter what it costs you, you must always tell the truth." And for a long time, I wanted to be more honest, more direct, more truthful with everyone. Yet, there are problems with black and white policies in a Technicolor world. I mean, sure, you can rack up all the costs to yourself with total honesty and "Truth". But what of the costs to others? How do you justify hurting others with unnecessarily with your honesty? And I also think that people hide behind "Truth", like telling their other how they cheated (under the guise of being "Truthful"), when the reality is more along the lines of easing personal guilt. Perhaps I'll give people a choice of uncensored honesty or just regular old honesty with unlimited white lies. Or maybe I'll just stop thinking about stuff so much.
