" Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it. " Mark Twain

[@dontreadtoomuchintomycomment]

I'm really good at telling the truth, my pastor, one Sunday, said, "I tried calling you this week" I replied "I saw that, I ignored it". He had this cosmic look of joy and a belly laugh ensued.

[@theneutralgroundpodcast]

I think this is especially true when it comes to the self. Tell yourself the truth. The ramifications of not doing so can lead you down a pathway of manufacturing a personal Hell, akin to what Milton's Satan does in Paradise Lost, because it becomes the only place--at least in your mind--that is free from the conscious suffering brought on by your own hands.

[@FernandoGGA]

Damn...

[@eddiewillers1]

Telling the truth to others, however, must always be tempered by tact and diplomacy - many people hate the truth, as it shatters the mirror of deceptions that they stare at daily. Telling the truth to yourself, introspecting with cold, rational clarity - that's the adventure.

[@James_36]

Wrong, diplomacy is a form of lying

This is 100% true. Habitually telling yourself the hard truth opens up a once invisible universe.

Often TRUTH, in the right time, consciousness and Place becomes _Soo.. damn powerful that One drop of it can dissolve mountains of lies,_ and entirely nullify bad karma for an entire lifetime. Dude that's crazy formidable.

[@misskaykayRSA]

Sooo true!!! Being honest is hard but it’s absolutely necessary and refreshing.

For Sure

[@TheRealK33N]

Dude this is so insanely true. I was in Princeton Model Congress, where I went to DC and presented a bill of my creation to a mock committee of my peers from around the country. These individuals were all farr leftists and some described being forced to go on white privilege walks at their private schools. I went on to explain my dismay for their position, explaining that in my diverse public school even the white kids openly said the N word and that it wasn’t a problem. I explained that there was a sort of social contract, that people could say terrible shit to each other, and that we would all clearly know when someone wasn’t joking and that those who didn’t were likely to get fucked up. I even explained to these lefties that I had said it myself. This was quite anxiety provoking in the moment, although after we concluded they all came up to me to express their genuine respect for me, which was surprising to say the least. It taught me to always be upfront with how I feel or what I’ve done, and then to explain it later. The ultimate guidelines for adventure in this thing we call life.

[@amywalsh2001]

As a child of Catholic immigrants I spent most of my time with other Catholic immigrants or children of Catholic immigrants. We never saw Any thing wrong with casually using slurs but you know without the hate.

[@MandoMTL]

That facet of context/intent is completely ignored by bad faith actors. It seems so obvious to me that the current progressive movement manufactures its own boogiemen. I cannot help but believe that all who bend the knee to these charlatans are in on it, and merely crafting the pretense for their anti-Western ideological shifts.

"if you dare to tell the Truth.. you'll be attacked, and some people will try to hurt you... Good" -Jocko

[@Retsiem279]

This is so true. I used to be a horrible liar to myself and others to try and hide my own inadequacies. I lost my wife and family because of this. I was horribly depressed and absolutely miserable. After a lot of soul searching I decided that I was going to just own up to my mistakes. It was hard and humiliating but after a little while I noticed I was no longer depressed. I was able to engage in conversation better because I didn’t need to keep track of all the different lies I was telling. I stopped caring about what other’s opinions of me were. I took ownership and responsibility for my mistakes instead of trying to look good. It was so freeing.

[@ImZiio]

A man once told me this saying which changed the way I looked at the truth. ‘If someone asks you a question in which you don’t want to answer don’t say a fucking word, say what you have to if that, but never lie cause those bastards stay with you’.

[@EIGHT88888]

Nothing is more adventurous than telling the truth.

[@joedavis4150]

... I totally agree.

[@voiceglobalinc.6731]

Telling the truth is a basic concept. Seeking the Truth and accepting it is the greatest thing!

[@chasvonplatten1298]

Absolutely. Get ready for the ride.

[@TechnoCraftGaming]

Amazing

[@NigeloWalker]

When you can tell the truth you are unbelievably powerful

[@hijodelaisla275]

That's a lie.

[@correlian1155]

So many times that I have said truth I expect to be punished for it. The surprise that I so often receive is I get positive responses and other people agreeing with me.

[@ccerrato147]

Agreed.

[@user-wg5hn4hl8h]

Truth is not subjective it doesnt vary in dimensions or situations truth is universal and divine. Love is all that is real, everything else is a construct. We are all family that is truth regardless of time place or situations. Truth is what divinity stands on.

[@guilhermefonseca3548]

Thank you for your work, men.

[@Bart-Did-it]

Said yes for 15 years said no once and told the truth ….. we broke up bye bye 15 years of hell I’m was a coward now I’m liberated and stronger for it .

[@marshalljahrling1045]

I worked at a grocery store for a number of months, and my father was a locksmith who had taught me how to open cars with the keys left inside of them, I never got a better feeling than helping someone who is locked out of their car. Sometimes they'd give me a tip sometimes they didn't it didn't matter I never asked for one.

[@juanzavala9023]

Keep in mind that Peterson also is adamant and firmly believes that the truth shouldn’t be used to hurt people.

[@jakehands]

My wife asked me,”does my bum look big in this?” And so I told her the truth. Boy, was that an adventure.

[@Ultamami]

😂

[@Opal5674]

How long was your hospital stay?

[@immanuelcunt7296]

The thing is, if you consistently tell the truth to those types of trap questions, eventually they stop asking, or stop being upset. It's a test to see if you'll bitch out, and if you don't, they'll eventually stop testing you. And then they'll respect you more.

[@anthonypillarella]

I always say, "Hell yes" enthusiastically. Of course, my girlfriend recognizes that big asses are a good thing and would be more upset if I said no lol.

[@JordanBPeterson]

Very funny. The right answer by the way is "I don't answer questions phrases like that."

[@JCJW101]

Always tell yourself the truth but know that telling the truth publicly can be a lonely experience sometimes.

[@immanuelcunt7296]

It's only lonely if you're in a place where everyone else is lying. So the problem is still people lying. And when one person dares to tell the truth, other people eventually do the same, emboldened by you.

[@adibahmed10]

We're slowly drifting into fantasy worlds which are more appealing than the real world. That's partly why so many people decide to blind themselves from the harsh reality of existence. "I'm fat, lazy and incompetent. But in my fantasy, everything is shining and happy. So I'll pick that reality." Doesn't end well because the truth eventually catches up with you, if not in your death bed. When you're dying, you'll be forced to see the truth and if you've been living a lie all your life, you won't like it. So pick the truth. At least then you can be sure that majority of problems that come your way are things you can predict and they won't sneak up on you like a snake.

[@yukey2587]

What an adventure that telling the truth has led me this last 2 years. Standing for the truth, in spite of verbal attacks by friends and relatives, really makes you stronger than you ever thought. And funny that what I (and many others) have said about the authoritarian govts is now being laid bare for all to see. Canadian truckers are my new heros.

[@richardw3347]

I was taught by a Shaman/Reiki Master teacher that lying is one of the worse things you can do karmatically so JP has a point.

[@marker113]

I would say being authentic is better than right or wrong. No more false dichotomies.

[@edenbreckhouse]

Most people don't like being told the truth.

[@immanuelcunt7296]

That's your fault. If the people around you can't handle the truth, it's because you (and others) failed to tell them the truth often enough that they never learned to handle it.

So why does JP not tell the truth about his addiction and who supplied him with his drugs?

[@Fantasticaal]

You can only tell a truth depending on the severity of the situation if you tell your super Catholic family that you don't give a f about realign your not gonna be alive tomorrow or have a family you'll be disowned.

[@immanuelcunt7296]

No, you can still tell the truth. He didn't say you can't tell the truth carefully, he only said to tell the truth. If your family is THAT oppressive, then you should write a note explaining (the truth), and leave. That's your adventure. It will be hard, but you will be a better person and your life will be happier.
