What are you hiding from?

"Be an honest man, and there will be no guilt, only truth."

A great friend told me this. The dispenser of wisdom and advice he has always been. When he said it, I couldn't help but think of how true those words were. Got me thinking really. Made me think of just how cut and dry truth really is. Even if you don't like it, it's there.

Got me thinking too how it can hurt you. It's amazing how something can hurt so much as the truth. We are so quick to look at something and see what's not there and believe so hard in that false image.

When someone comes along and steps in your lake, and the ripples make your image blurry and the truth is finally seen, its amazing how that truth cuts so deep and how you don't want to believe in it, but you know that not believing in it is just as bad as believing the lie.

There are some lies in my life I need to look past and see the truth. I know though, that with some of those lies, I am not able, I am not strong enough to take the truth and see it for what it is. I know this.

The one thing I am slowly coming around to, the one lie that I am slowly pushing away is the fact that I know my father will not be around much longer. I have believed for far to long that he will be here to see my daughter grow up and be there to spoil her. It is a lie that has clouded my vision. If I can no see through that cloud, I know when he does pass that I will be devastated much more then if I had come to terms with it much sooner.

What truths are you hiding from yourself?

@Seed,

First, let me tell how sorry I am to hear about your father. I'm sixty-three
myself, none of my kids have children of their own yet, but I would dearly,
dearly love to watch grandchildren grow up.

As for me, I don't know that I am hiding any more truths from myself. I think
the biggest one in the past concerned my middle child, who is special-needs.
For a long time, I wanted to believe that some day he would be "cured", that
some miracle of science would make him just like every other little boy. I
held on to that belief with all my strength. In my heart, I knew otherwise. He
is who he is.

As time went on, we tried everything. We helped him be the best he can be,
but that best falls far short of what the world calls "normal". At some point,
I'm not sure when, I had to look truth straight in the eye. This is your son.
He is beautiful person. His life will always be a struggle, for him and for you.
Deal with it.

@Seed,

I admire those who expose their ignorance like me in this forum.
I am not sure but i think an American by name mark twain( who had better knowledge about English and German) had once wrote.
Sorry sir
i have nothing to declare except my honesty( that was in Airport).
I had not degraded my parents by using aan artificial name.
my mother gave Rama and my wife gave Fuchs.
I am Rama fuchs.
( I have nothing to hide except my ignoorance.)

I genuinely believe that the Law of the Conservation of Energy
applies to conscious life, and that is TRUE
(based upon accounts of folks who have returned from death).

Like when your car wears out,
u can get another one, but u do not cease to exist.

If your radio breaks down,
even if u don 't hear your favorite show until u get another one,
radio waves will not cease to exist.
