If You Cannot Be Honest With Others, Nor Tell Them How You Really Feel...

"If You Cannot Be Honest With Others,
Nor Tell Them How You Really Feel,
At Least Be Honest With Yourself,
And Be True To How You Feel."

"Those Who Cannot Keep Up, Will Be Left Behind."

This is one of the silent-truths of our society.
We still are not a genuinely kind species, and are willing to sacrifice one another for selfish goals.
Why?
Because of pent-up, unexpressed feelings, which become infected and perverted like an untreated wound.
The solution?
The free expression of our true feelings.
That simple. : )

Now, sadly, it is still the case that if you express opinions and viewpoints which others find distasteful or disagreeable, you will likely be punished in some fashion, whether overtly or covertly, but the iron fist will find a way to strike you.

With this sad reality in mind,
make a promise to yourself.
"Even though you cannot be true to others, you will be true to yourself."
This will make you strong,
and when you are strong enough,
someday,
you will be able to express your truth to others,
and they will not be able to stop you with the threat of pain or punishment.

Remember :
"Just Believe In Yourself!" -_^
