If you feel the need to justify yourself, you've probably already lost. Just stop digging the hole you're in already. Be honest. Live in the truth. And let that speak for you.

Truth
The truth will set you free. The reason the truth will set you free, is that anything that's not the truth will keep you imprisoned in it's web of deceit. And prison sucks. Tell the truth.
Objectivity
The concept of objectivity is tricky. It's about an unbiased truth, free of individual subjectivity. While I believe that there are universal truths, I also believe that everyone has their own unique perspective on them. In other words, while there may be an objective truth, it might be hard to for everyone see it through … Continue reading Objectivity

That's when a … Continue reading Self-Talk
Words
