My parents always taught me to tell the truth, no matter what. I can't say I always did, but most of the time I have. Like the old saying states, "The truth sometime hurts.". But telling the truth when it counts is important. Should I tell someone their loved one is cheating on them? I really don't want to be that person, even tho I know they need to know.
The bible says to never lie. I get that and as I said sometimes I have sinned by not telling the whole truth or twisting the truth so someone does not get emotionally hurt. We all want to live in the 'good and happy times' (like Mayberry RFD) and everything we hear is true. But I must tell you truthfully, that's a lie.
We believe in what we want to believe, and all else is a lie, until someone convinces us the opposite. Many beliefs are passed down from our parents, friends and associates. "If my loving parents or good friends believe that, it must be right." Because your parents voted Democrat or Republican or Libertarian, does that mean you should? Maybe or not? In our country, we are all free and have the right to vote our own mind, not someone else's beliefs.
Many people watch the news daily, and listen to the report for the Left or the Right. Do you believe what is being said is the truth, or a bias view? I think most would say they think it is bias, BUT they watch that channel or report because the channel views things that person believes. Again, we believe what we want to believe.
Let's look at the Covid vaccination theory. We hear scientists and doctors say the Covid vaccination will stop us from getting Covid. Yet millions refuse to get vaccinated because they believe the side effects are worse that Covid. It will change your DNA? There is a microchip being injected? It will cause you to grow horns? I don't want to be told what to do. I don't like needles. And so many more excuses. Yes, some people have died after the vaccination, but they had some sort of underlying medical problems. How can you tell the truth from a lie or twisted truth? DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Investigate the research that has been done for decades before we heard of Covid. The vaccine is not new much like so many others that have been formulated for future viruses and different strains of flu.
How can you tell if someone is lying to you? I personally don't believe everything I hear and sometimes see. I check the facts and listen to the scientists, check multiple sources (on both sides of the fence), check their sources and make my own conclusion. I take what politicians say in consideration and think about it. I take what acquaintances say into consideration and still do my research. I appreciate suggestions, thoughts and views, but make up my own mind. No one knows it all. Obviously not me.
Your opinions, beliefs and thoughts are yours and yours alone. Be that judge in a court that listens to ALL the facts, thinks about it and decides based on ALL OF THE FACTS. Not hear-say, or what you saw on the news, or what a friend told you. twisted truths, fake news or plain old lies will cause you to pick the wrong choice. Get vaccinated so you don't join the more than 600,000 people in the United States who refused to listen to the facts.
Lastly, before you make an opinionated statement, check your facts, and you'll look less like a fool and more like a knowledgeable person.
Take care, stay safe and God bless you all.
