"We live in a culture of secrecy, where hiding and lying
are accepted and natural, even though we don't like it."
Penney Peirce
As we come to love ourselves without judgment, it becomes easier to live our life without hiding behind half truths or full blown lies. If we do not use this as a life practice, we will not have faith that our friends, communities, groups or organizations are honestly forthcoming.
As individuals, we carry unnecessary stress by attempting to hide our imperfections. Unfortunately, in order to disguise the truth we falsify additional information. Thus the ball of stress winds tighter and larger.
It is freeing to be able to use all of our energy focusing on presenting who we truthfully have grown to become. To express our truth without hesitancy, is freeing in itself. Truth telling offers a higher level of communication creating a security in listening to diverse truths of others.
