Lux et Veritas (Light and Truth)

Rate this Entry
People percieve truth as a far-seeing light, that exposes everything it touches. Truth creates balance. Truth fixes all. But most importantly, truth is bright. Why?
I think there is only a bare few who quite understand the absurdity of it all.
I don't understand why truth must be light. What then, when truth is far more sinister than a thousand lies? What then, when truth lay in shadows?
Was it a bright truth when my parents told me they were seperating? Was it a bright truth that Paul was an alchoholic?
No. A thousand times, no.
But that does not mean that one cannot make light of a dark truth. There is no point in lingering on a bad situation. I do not resent that I had to cook and clean when my parents were seperated. Instead, I relished the "learning experience," every day thinking how life could always be worse.
And it could have been-- only the people who don't watch the news, or are the subject of the news are dissatisfied with their lives.
So right now I'm starting a trend-- every time something bad happens to you, remind yourself that it could always be worse. Try it sometime, I solemnly vow that it even has the power to change who you are.

    I never saw this entry before Anza. It came up as a random entry now and I just read it. I didn't know your parents were separated. That must be tough for you, and perhaps that's why your mother gets so stressed out. I don't know who Paul is. I take it a relative. I'm even more impressed with you now knowing the difficulties you've over come.

    They were. He was my stepdad-- never tied the knot or anything...
