The Truth
By peace | November 26, 2005
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise. ~ Sigmund Freud
The truth is our friend. It is a rough and humble kind of friend — but a friend nonetheless. Each of us will need to learn to spend time with this friend because it is one that is not easy to escape.
It is always turning up when we least expect it. The truth about ourselves is hard to avoid.
It seems to knock at our door until we let it in. Perhaps we have played the game of hide and seek sometime in our lives.
Sometimes we tell little lies about ourselves to impress others, or we act in ways that, deep down, we know are not really the way we want to be.
We can never be comfortable this way.
We know what it is like to hide and try to keep from being found.
The truth about us is an expert player. It seeks us out until we put our arms around it and welcome it.
