Deception leads to confusion and ultimately chaos.
Honesty is the cornerstone that leads to finding solutions to problems.
You have to decide what kind of world you want to live in. That’s what you believe in. Then that’s what you practice.
One is more challenging than the other.

@BoobooSnafu I have lost everything for telling the truth
then had to face the world disabled and alone .my family even turned on me
but I did confess everything and I mean everything
but I eventually recovered from it ,,purged of my burdens
Now when my past rears its head and tries to hurt me
Everyone says ,thats old news ,he confessed that long ago
He was man enough to know what his honesty would cost him
but followed through anyway ,,
He is man enough to sacrifice it all ,and brave enough to face you face to face
try talking that mess to his face not his back
If he has something to say about you ,he will say it to you're face
Now I deal with things as they happen ,and I now have peace of mind
My rich friends even envy that
I have something for free ,that they can't buy
and most of them have many skeletons in their closet
They are always one lose lip away from being ruined
It sucks to live that way ,,I will never do it again ,,or be in debts
Lies and debt ..the major causes of broken marriages and heart attacks

@BoobooSnafu I watched my Mom make a fool of my Dad for years as she cheated on him with his so called best friends ,my first wife has a child to this day I don't know if she is mine ,but she is Daddys girl ,thats all I care about ,but she does look more like my cousin then me
The woman I was with after my wife left dumped me for my little brother
(after I just paid out home of of coarse )
My second wife left me because a doctor said I was milking a back operation and I was an addict that needed rehab ,,He was not my back surgeon ,they later found a spur in my shoulder cutting a tendon it two ,,but another doctor said I was faking my arm being palatalized
I confessed to my family and my wifes I was a closet drug addict and a drunk
I had cheated on her and admitted that too ,,7 yrs prior to my confession
I didn't want my family blaming her for leaving me
She took everything ,ruined my name for a while and I went from being a rock star that also built mansions to homeless living in a hobo camp eating at a mission ,,not sure if you understood what I meant
Carrying the guilt I had cheated on my wife for 7 yrs almost killed me
Even though every woman before her and after cheated on me

@Mindful For me, for my life - I believe in the same motto- I cant live any other way.
It's other people!
Others who lie, who hide their ugly truths and let them grow and fester till they become something they can't control.
I also believe that truth is the ONLY sound foundation - even if it's an ugly one.
But facing it isn't easy.
And our lives are intertwined with others.
Spending a life negotiating, bend and compenstaing for others who deny their truth - amd being stupid enough to try and help them
'Face up' to move foreward, to stop the damage their lies are doing - um... Wow... I thought lies were destructive - apparently the truth can be like an atom bomb!
I honour the ethos that you have - and do my best to live by it, ( albeit painfully)
But as with everything, and man being a fallible creature - all things have a light and dark side.
I'm yet to find the wisdom for balance.
It is good to hear their are others out there that believe in it.
And I'm sorry for seeming argumentative, in bad times its hard to ignore the angst that swirls, and I think it leaks out sometimes.
I mean no offence.

@Mindful I have a message to share in due season
I have tried to explain it a little before time
so I am not in a debate that is not going to matter
Its not my words and my opinion will have no bearing on it
I can at best only be told like Abraham ,if you can find 10 ,get them out of there .its happening ,like it or not
But I often run into the religious who want to tell me the teachings of their church ,the same error I taught when I was a minister and God told me I was not serving Him ,I was following traditions of men that oppose Him
and He sent someone to me to make it clear how ,,I was shocked to see how much of my beliefs were based on things I had been told by others
but not based on the precepts of Gods word
He wants all of His on the same page ,sharing His Gospel not our own
Not our interpretation ,if we believe it is all inspired by Him
and we have the holy spirit in us ,,He will lead us to see the truth
But to a carnal mind ,His precepts are foolishness ,and He told us it was meant to be that way ,so in the end ,those who do not have His spirit as our guide ,and comforter will find their beliefs were mere foolishness
His word is sound ,the same yesterday ,today and forever ,
He has allowed me to see ,,I can't move someone who is blinded by the prince of this world ,,if they are not born again ,ask Him to show them
He is sending them strong delusions ,and they can defend lies to the bitter end ,He is not forcing anyone to listen
But the last angels to harold the 3 angel message won't be winged
It will be us ,,the saints of God ,that kept the commandments of God
and the faith in Christ to the very end ,no matter who believed we spoke for God ,,they were told to try the spirit and see if we are of God
not for us to try and convince them
1 Corinthians 2:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
They must be born again ,or what we say won't make any sense
it will be the reaping that separates the wheat from the chaff
The chaff will chose the popular road that leads to destruction
Thats what I know ,,God said so Even if the whole world was to think me nuts for sharing it ,,like Lot and his family
I am sure there will be some we will have to drag out for them to see

@Mindful then we agree ,,I know you and I have never had a problem that I know of ,,but when I post something like this its not just for the person I am responding too ,there are many that do believe Grace is a licence to sin
and Gods laws ended at the cross when actually He wrote them on the hearts of all who believe in Him ,,
So thank you for you're response
I was just making sure we are on the same page 🤗🤗❤️
