The Trouble With Lying

    "3,000 and counting false or misleading claims" Washington Post  

     I find it very disturbing when people try winning me over by claiming that everything they say is true, even when they get busted for lying over and over. Huh? What?! Ok, they've lowered the bar and so we're having to raise it. The present day administration has so mukked up the water that nobody knows what is going on and so, effectively blindfolded, we're all having to learn to navigate in a not new, but less-used way. We put our 'feelers' out. That's right. We navigate through the morass by 'tuning into the energy' around things. 
     Got no choice. As you can plainly see, truth will never be revealed, admitted to, or spoken by anyone. There is no truth! Everything can be changed. "I was just joking". "You're not comprehending the full context" "You're reading this the wrong way". Geez. These are The Shadowlands, this IS The Swamp. Murky, mist-filled, can't see ten feet in front of your face, and there ain't gonnna be no clearing because Twitter will remind you instantly that there is point followed by counterpoint so you can't move, you really can't, in any direction. Ugh!

     We're being asked to step up, it's time, and if you think that any white knight is coming to save the day that's just going to prolong the unreality of this situation. 
     Gotta be your own superhero now. When somebody is talking on the TV, what is your 'read'? "Yes" or "No"?. How does it FEEL? Beyond the words? 'Fresh and clean', 'rank and oily', or...? Gotta put your thinking caps on too 'cuz if you don't what IS clear is that you're going to be kept in the dark. In this time where EVERYTHING and ANYTHING can be explained away, you have to give wide berth to some of the people that eagerly want to 'help you see the light'. Run like hell! Would you sit next to some guy in a mental institution while he explains 'reality' to you? Same thing. 
    Worldviews are fragile things. Philosophies are fragile things. A lot of people live on the surface and their boats can be swayed and rocked. Be kind to yourselves. Tread lightly. There is a lot of misinformation out there presenting itself as 'truth' nowadays. Someday the water will be clear. Until then.......
