honest

A divine attribute we often wrongly assign to one we admire, but sadly, like telepathy, honesty is a characteristic not inherent in humanity. To be truly and completely honest with someone, one must first be truly and completely honest with one’s self. Since our species is incapable of seeing past its own fears, desires, prejudices, convictions, emotional attachments, memories and flawed perceptions, man is not capable of viewing an unfiltered reality. Every single conclusion a person comes to is first carefully screened and reviewed through a series of subconscious unrelated facets of collective reasoning and thus all humanity is blind to all truth. Thus, no one is truly and completely honest with themselves and thus cannot be truly and completely honest with others. The most anyone can hope to give is their honest opinion. But that’s all it is, an opinion.

To give an example would be contrary to my definition of “honest.”

Tragic

Some examples of what may correctly be deemed to be “tragic” might include; unrequited love, premature death, or game six of the 2003 National League Championship.

truth

1. The Abominable Snowman of society; a mythic legend which many swear by and is not without some minute traces of tangible evidence to add credence to the possibility of its existence.
2. What some seek to find, and others to escape.

They say the truth will set you free.
But I’ve been a prisoner to lies for so long I’ve practically become institutionalized.
Though I no longer pace between the gloomy corners of my shady cell, I do not believe that I can ever truly “be free.”
Not as long as I continue to fear my truth, while still taking refuge in my lies.
