TRUTH, OR LIE?

Next week is my birthday – my annual time to take stock. Where have I been; where am I now; where am I going; what matters to me at this time in my life?  Is there a truth that fits my reality?  Aphorism of the week – “Man keeps looking for a truth that fits his reality.  Given our reality, the truth doesn’t fit.  If you experience it, it’s the truth. The same thing believed is a lie. In life, understanding is the booby prize.”  Say what?

“Obviously, the truth is what’s so.  Not so obviously, it’s also so what.”  Ugh.  Truth, or Lie?

Today, Young People and Adults are marching – “March For Our Lives”.  Kids in grammar school, high school, college.  Parents, educators, citizens.  Many have experienced it.  Truth, or Lie?  This matters.

TRUTH?  or LIE?

GET IT?  IT MATTERS.

Thanks for sticking with this to the end.  I have no answers.  I have a lot of questions and will be “taking stock” for days, weeks to come.  I know where I have been. I know where I am now.  I have no idea where I am going.  That is the truth.  I know, I know – so what.

Best, JAY
