This is a old poem of mine I wrote as I was working through some thoughts. 

Time for me to publish it to a wider audience. 

 

 

Truth isnt what you think today

truth will be true tomorrow too

Truth isnt just what you feel

Its what happened, the facts, the data...

Interpreted truth is our own reality..

Our "rose colored glasses" on life

Psychiatry calls it our "filter" that we interpret the world through...

I dont know how to explain the truth in any simpler terms

To those that dont practice it

I am constantly amazed at the deception and self deception I see

The manipulation and meddleing in others affairs

You gain nothing by bending others to your will... They ususally snap back and are resentful

The truth on that is you can only change yourself...

The Truth... (C) Artimus - Susan Manley 7-19-2005

Only those willing to hear the truth…must dust off our shoes and not rant at those who have their heels dug in. Many words won’t change minds. Still the truth is the truth, there is no other. The fool says, “What is truth…” Some are searching…others are questioning. There is a difference. Thought-provoking write. Hugs ~ Kim
