What does it mean to be truthful? Is anyone really 100 % truthful?
Are we all just a bunch of liars? After self examining my soul, I think in one way or another- that we are all liars.
It's so easy to take a story and take the truth out of it. Do we really remember accurately what someone said? The tone?
Even if you are quoting someone correctly, but dramatize the tone, I think that could be missing the truth behind what was actually spoken.
Especially if someone made you upset by what you said.
My tendency is to make the person's comments sound meaner than sometimes they were originally b/c it helps to defend my side of the story.
The Bible says \"Let your yes be yes and your no be no; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.\" and I think that sums it up fairly well. (Matthew 5:37) If you examine what you say and do, you, like me, will see areas in which we can improve on how we speak and live the truth. If you examine yourself and you don't find yourself short of living up to Jesus' standards of truth, well... I think you are lying to yourself. |
