Truth Be Told

When do we make the necessary changes that need to be made to something in our lives that is not any good for us? When should we proceed in the “right” direction as opposed to continuing with the “wrong” direction? Who is to say what “Right” is and what is “Wrong?” Are these “rights” and “wrongs” based solely on the individual(s) and their opinion(s)? Should we even become upset when another person invades our world and tells us their own opinions about our personal situations? Many of the times ignoring the fact that we may not want to hear their opinions. There are always extenuating circumstances that people should get involved in another person’s life – if something is endangering them or those around them. But other than those extenuating circumstances – when do WE make those necessary changes for ourselves? When do we decide to do what is right in a situation that requires some type of action or reaction? When do we start putting the proper puzzle pieces together?

Should we really get upset when people don’t mind their businesses and involve themselves with our affairs? Should we appreciate their interference in our lives? Should we look at their interference as an opening to a door that we ourselves keep closed because we are not willing to open the door ourselves? Do we really need to hear what we all deep down already know?
Do we want to know?

But...We...do...know… We ALWAYS know! Most of the time there is nothing to ask anyone that we do not already know for ourselves. (Well at least for the most part.) We don’t need advice we just want to hear something different from someone else on what we should or shouldn’t do. When you have to think about something that’s going on in your life (whatever aspect it could be) (and in the pit of your stomach and deep in your heart you know it’s wrong or somewhere inside your head that little voice is screaming or talking nonstop advising you to turn the other way, to do something different, to end something, to tell the truth, to stop doing something, to speak up about something, to be honest with yourself about something etc) What else could there possibly be to question? Sometimes we look for outside opinions about our situations or about our actions (and sometimes we tread lightly around even these truths that we are willing to expose ourselves to hear – and we mask our situations so that way we can justify to our selves what we are doing with what is really going on.)

When you want to hear it – you ask! When you don’t want to hear it – you mask! Isn’t it all so very simple?

But it’s never that simple – who are we hurting or affecting the most? If it would affect or hurt someone else and disrupt things dramatically – do we selfishly continue with our escapades or does a change need to be made somewhere? Are you selfish and self serving? Or are you ½ selfish and try to make up for it in other ways? Or do you deny being selfish at all? If it’s okay the things that are going on then what’s to think about? Why all the pondering? Why all the guilt? (there’s always guilt) Do you have any guilt or is that one more thing you want to add on to the list of topics to avoid? (Maybe there is no guilt and you just don’t care but then maybe you should be honest about that then – starting with being honest with yourself) Or maybe you are just too afraid to face up to the truth of the things that have been created in your world? What skeletons are in your closet? What demons do you have to face? What reality are you living in? What truth needs to be told? All situations that need to be addressed, need to be faced, and it starts at home first. Home is your own personal sanctuary of peace and solitude within yourself. With the removal of your mask a revelation of an unspoken truth is revealed, and with that alone you are set free!
