Need

All who lie - need, creative people lie all the time, either to themselves or others. They may claim, that this is 'My Truth'! They may say, that this is my very soul, I have made it for you out of papier mâché and toothpicks, it represents my pain or joy or whatever. Don't be fooled, they have constructed a truth that is not a bit like them, what they paint, write or sculpt is a need and all who lie need to Need.

Interesting! I see it more as shifting rather than not true. It all ends up being true and false simultaneously. But needy, well I may as well own up to that as it's not hidden in the slightest.

Good thoughts Dilly, yes 'shifting' as a self distracting mechanism from self awareness perhaps? Thank you for your comments' on this. Best E
