Failing towards the Truth

We were having an intense conversation and he said, "I'll say what I need to to keep the peace." I said that doesn't sound like a good plan.

As I reflect, I know I don't like conflict. By avoiding it,  the tension just builds and personal relationships deteriorate. In work situations, I just move on and find another job, "I was looking when I found this one", is usually my attitude.

Morality of a religious tradition should guide towards the truth. There is truth all round us but our consumption of the "preferred truths and understanding", is what we don't see. It is like the movie The Matrix. We are living in an algorithm. The tension has been building since the creation of the printing press. Transformational stories draw us in but the understanding of the "story behind the story" is hidden.

The transformational urge is the response to the chaos and disorder around us but instead of living a life in truth we choose comfort and avoid conflict by saying what we need to to keep the peace. "Failing Towards the Truth" is a day to day battle but finding the joy in a unified way gets it's spark from a few words from the heart and the courage to lift up rather than tear down. I still feel like I want to break some shit! Truth!
