What's the movie,that the actor says " You can't handle the truth" I think if everyone told us the truth it would be way more than we could handle. Often other people's truths are not the truth even if they believe it is. There is truly only one source of truth and so few people choose to read his word.

A Few Good Men...Jack Nicholson says it to Tom Cruise....Great reference....yes...you are right. Some truths, I guess, are better left unspoken because they will not bring any good result, but there is a truth that sometimes cuts to the core, but it cuts away the illness and brings healing. THAT is the power of HIS word! Thanks for the visit, Richard....

:) PD....thanks for stopping by here. We all face that same dilemma sometimes. Telling the truth often gets me in TROUBLE! ;( Sometimes I wish I could just keep my mouth shut! Coming clean? Only if it is essential for healing.....the rest we take to God. HUGS....Have sweet dreams.

Perhaps the second meaning adds to the first so you can see the truth much clearer. For example, literature being deeper than it first appears.

The thing is, remember that this is the internet. Words have to be taken with a HUGE, HUGE grain of salt in most cases. Overanalysis is no good for ones complexion. :)

Yes.....we do. It's hard to find. I'm not very good at hidden meanings and finding the deeper nuances of things...I guess I'm a simpleton....a bit naive...always was. Having said that...my female intuition is GOOD...Spot on on detection emotional things, but words.....ah...that is another matter. Those words play around!
