Thank you for your light. Your encouragement to cling to truth, fight for the right to live in truth, got me through the darkness. People have laughed at me, called me an unrealistic idealist and of course told me to just shut up and play the role but life is too short for that, no matter the consequences. For me too, this applied to relationships and beliefs. Truth and honesty are the path. No going back to anything else.
I love your honesty, Cheri. It’s uncomfortable at times to be honest. But a strong sort of discomfort. As opposed to a sell out misery - that feeling of swallowing something putrid, rancid, rotten and vile. It’s a decision- do I choose the slap in the face that comes with honesty, or the long slow decomposition of pretension? Both hurt, still, one allows for the soul to remain intact. That’s the suffering I choose.

So we’ll written and insightful, as usual, Cheri!
