The biggest lies we tell are often the ones to ourselves. Looking in the mirror and acknowledging our ugliness is aa very unnatural thing. Most people die before ever confronting themselves with the truth. We do this often on both a personal and societal level. While flaws are human, somehow admitting it in ourselves is not.
- onecommentman 5y agoOK, I’ll bite. Pray tell, what is this objective thing that you call “the truth”? Imagine you are responding to a worldly 70-something who has lived a rich and full life and who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. So, what is “the truth”? Try not to be trite.
- polishdude20 5y agoYeah I feel the same about the parent comment. Who can say we don't confront ourselves and at one point had one reached this mystical state of mind where one has confronted themself fully? It's a very vague opinion to make the teller feel holier than thow.
- nate_meurer 5y agoThe parent made no claims about objectivity. If your 70+ years of richness and fullness has left you capable of complete honesty with yourself and others about your flaws, then congratulations, seriously. I guess you'll have to use your imagination to try to relate to the rest of us fools.
