Truthful Lives.

such a thought provoking and engaging write Andy, a great stimulus topic for open dialogue!
being true to ourselves and the telling of lies, have differing connotations and impacts..
I feel lying is inevitable to some degree,
some completely delude themselves and proudly boast they never do, while rest of us fidget and mention words like \'white\' and \'bending\' to drape our discomfort with admitting to telling a few lies, now and then..
personally, I think the most important thing is that we don\'t lie to ourselves, its impossible to anticipate all the madness waiting for us in the world, so we\'ve all learnt from childhood to word our \'truths\' in a certain way or for some, just got good at telling lies - outright,
but if we can limit and control the lies we tell ourselves, then we can face our own truth\'s and insure we \'police\' ourselves, then it matters less how everyone else judges our words, because we know we\'re doing the best we can and nothing more can be asked of us..
(but what do I know? I may be deluding myself with these very words I type, lol)

Speaking the truth in response to a direct question has landed me with all sorts of problems in the past. Is this where white lies comfortably creep into our lives of daily compromise.

I don\'t think I lie - and I do know it has got me into much trouble over the years...Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me....
Good little poem, Andy.
If it weren\'t for one intervening entry, you would be ready for a rhymer hat trick tomorrow....

Good write Gold.
Would we have courage to always be truthful? Would everyone accept what we say, if we were always truthful? Would WE always accept what others say to us?
There is sneakiness, \'white lies\', etc where we \'get through life\' at times, I suppose. Then we may have to maintain the lie, if we start one.

I wander how many people think about what they say . Sometimes it seems easier for some people to lie ...
Sometimes the truth can be painful , but then again so can lies

Thoroughly enjoyable, both poem and music. Yes I was toe tapping. Finding the light is everyone\'s end game. Some do and some never will. In nature, as brutal as it can be, somehow it seems to shine that light everywhere all the time.A very nice poem. - Phil A.

Rare to see you producing rhyme like this. It\'s as if you were doodling whilst in a dream of your destiny.

You know what I\'m going to put here , even before...
Yep - thanks for the rhythm and rhyme.
And after reading I can have no doubt you will be whole on your star, never slowing, you both.

\'This too will pass,
Back into a new normality.\'
in today\'s \'all is doom n gloom\': as our go-to state
positivity\'s hat has become such a heavy burden to carry and display proudly,
thank you for all the heavy lifting Andy
yet another refreshingly uplifting read!

British Springtime.
L. B. Mek said:
so well articulated, but I don\'t know if that\'s just Spring, even our British Summer\'s get a little temperamental, especially when we walk down a busy high-street and find people drenched wet at one end and sweating buckets the other, lol
though personally I wouldn\'t have it any other way!
I found this a somewhat nostalgic read Andy (not quite sure why)
