It's from the Bible, and I agree with it... in general. I was thinking about the various Trump trials... what a mess, caused by lies and deceipt, shame.

In other words... find out wha the truth is... so you can move forward.

Expose the truth, so you are not enslaved to the negative emotions holding you back.

But that's not how our world works, especially politics, court, but everywhere. Shame is used to control people, admiting guilt is a weakness with consequences, and people become discarded.

Lies and misperceptions persist. There is a flip side...'the truth will get you into bigger trouble.'. That is true, but you will have emotional freedom rather than emotional bondage.

I would say this is truth personally. There is a rule i follow, A big rule, and one that is hard to follow because we are emotional beings.

The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.

The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists; what is, is; and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced.

Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts nor are they a means to discover them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality; it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reason's light. In rejecting reason, refusing to think, one embraces Idiocy.

Faith and feelings, are a device of self-delusion, a sleight of hand done with words and emotions founded on any irrational notion that can be dreamed up. Faith is the attempt to coerce truth to surrender to whim. In simple terms, it is trying to breathe life into a lie by trying to outshine reality with the beauty of wishes. Faith is the refuge of fools, the ignorant, and the deluded, not of thinking, rational people.
