Tell It Like It Is

Some say tell it like it is but not how it was This rule should always be followed because: Much of our past must be shrouded in mystery We have to forget the sorrow and remember the glee So just teach what you should Some amnesia is good And erase all that nasty history Tell it like it is, but you have yourself to blame When they fling mud in your face and slander your name! 10/30/22

Social media permit cowards to destroy the name and reputation of everyone, e.g., Elon Musk's tweet about Paul Pelosi. Losing friends who can not be bothered to research the truth is no loss at all! Aloha!

I'll take the L.A. Times over Musk anyday! Thanks Rico

So true, Robert. What is best in us calls for us to forget much of the bad and remember all that is good.

Point well taken, Milt. All though I do believe we should be familiar with all the history good and bad.
