Our Truth . . . When someone tells you their truth, it should be your truth. I don’t know about you but this lesson has been haunting me for years. I realize now that as humans we need to honor that truth. Even if we don’t understand it to be OUR truth. Cause when you dive in deeper you can see what is it that you can’t except about their truth? That your truth may not be true? We can not push our opinions, beliefs or for that mater ourselves on anyone that is respecting themselves with their beliefs. We need to respect ourselves and not be set up for rejection, confrontation, and for that matter War. Who do we think we are to believe that if we just say this, or if we beat them over the head then that, that they will change their views? What really is behind your point of view? Stop beating yourself up and start to realize your own truth. Reality is looking at you straight between the eyes. Be confident enough in your own beliefs to know that no matter whoever else disagrees it doesn’t change what is True for you. Sometime you can surprise yourself and they can shine a light to broaden your truth. That is respecting yourself and others. I want to apologize to whomever I have pushed my opinion on or looked down on them for not living in my truth. In fact I respect them and love them for being honest and revealing themselves in their truth. As the saying goes when someone tells you who they are believe them. Honor that honesty and allow space to maybe not share religions with everybody, or share the same music, or even share the same bed. If we as humans start to recognize the differences between each other we can start to see how very similar we are. What begins with Truth ends with Truth.

My opinion about all of this is in the WE versus just saying what’s TRUE for you. Having this overall opinion for ALL humans and what you believe is true would go a lot further for me if there was more ownership involved. Instead of saying WE, say I or me and that way you would actually be saying what you are trying to say above. That’s my opinion and call it truth if you will but it’s far more intimate than claiming what WE need to do as humans and just being and doing that yourself.
Hi, Andrea! I can see where my language(us, we, our) might be interpreted as non-ownership. These musings absolutely are of me and I do base these statements on my own experiences and opinions. However, I also come to these opinions through sharing with those closest to me, friends and family, as well as how I perceive certain global behaviors and observations of the human condition, which is where the “we” comes into the fold. In the end these “Truths”, are all just opinions, opinions that fluctuate with the ebb and flow of information, experience, perspective, emotions and life. Thank you for yours, I will not take it for granted. 🙂
