Tyrants will try to torture it out of you. I am so glad they revealed how they really feel about my “perspective” on reality. There is no need for them to remain in my house. Absolutely none.

“The ‘disappointment’ of others is not yours to hold. Please keep this in mind the next time an internet stranger (or anyone else for that matter) feels it necessary to tell you that they are disappointed because you didn’t meet the hopes and expectations they had for you.
When I hear ‘I’m disappointed that you…’ what I read from that is: ‘I’m disappointed to see that your worldview doesn’t mirror mine,’ ‘I’m disappointed that you’ve failed to match the version of you I created in my mind.’ “

“I don’t know what to tell you.”
Is that the truth?
Often times when we say, “I don’t know what to tell you”, it means we are done talking about it, whatever it is.
Maybe it is a simple attempt at being sarcastic.
Perhaps it is true and we’ve been stumped, and honestly do not know what to say.
Usually though, we have plenty more to say about it, whatever it is.
Our response will depend on what our current perceptions are, which are used to generate our present “truth”.
Over time, this truth may shift, morphing into something that doesn’t even resemble the original truth.
As our bodies change from year to year, aging and become something different, so does our truth.
Just like a river will shift course should there be a log jam, experience will always cause the neural pathways to find new avenues of travel.
New ideas form, new relationships kindle, dwelling situations may shift or geographical location changes occur … all these add to perceptions, which form our current truths.
Conceivably, Opinions might be fluid, while not all Truths change.
Do you suppose both are flowing in time?
