There are few nudities so objectionable as the naked truth.
Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950)

I could walk down the street naked and get into much less trouble than I get into just for speaking the truth. The truth is a tricky thing. Everyone thinks they know the truth, but their truths are based on foundations of lies, built up to support their weaknesses and inadequacies. Look around and see who tells the truth.

People don't fall into the wrong crowd. They choose the crowd that will support their flaws. They belong to the group that supports their lies. Water will always seek it's own level. So will people. When was the last time you lied? It was when you said, "That's just the way I am." That's code for, "I know it's wrong, but I don't want to change."

I don't sit around and comment on others lies, like I have here. This is just a safe forum for me. But I get in trouble for doing the right thing. For not bowing to prejudices. For helping people even if they've done me harm. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means a doormat. Fuck with me and I'll leave you standing alone in the dessert, wondering how you got there. I'll wish you the best, but you're on your own. However, if you get bit by a rattler, I will FedEx you the antidote.

I'm not a goodie two shoes. I screw up all the time. Sometimes I hurt people. I just try not to. I try not to make the same mistakes twice, and I am amazed at how many mistakes there are to make. Just when I think I must have made them all, I find a whole new universe of mistakes to make. I just want people to try to be better. Just try.

People don't want to hear the truth. It bothers them, tickles at their consciousness, makes them self aware, makes them feel naked.
