Dramatic Apology

Sculpting music drives my days and my nights. I find expression at my piano when words fail me. After Secondhand Stories faded, lyrics found new melodies.
The phrases “that’s my truth” or “that’s your truth” seems culturally integrated in daily conversation. It seems the statement is meant to allow two parties to disagree without resolution. It’s a barrier statement.
There’s an important distinction between truth and belief. If your truth does not reevaluate when new evidence is presented, then it is no longer a truth but a belief. When people substitute the word truth for belief there is an implied assumption of personal infallibility and a root of pride.
Truth is a journey, a seeker passing through. Belief is a destination, a citizen building residence. Challenges to truth respond with idea evaluation and reason. Challenges to belief respond with speaker evaluation and walls. Call truth truth and belief belief. It creates transparency for conversational pathways and intent.
Jingle bells in stride
When the world is full of liars, we justify our lying. When we see the world as honest, we work harder to tell the truth. Be careful of those who distrust others.
