#seeing truth

I can’t find my glasses,

Could someone please

help me look for them?

I see but blurred faces,

and blotted out facades

rippling free with my gaze

I see their heart inside,

the petty and vicious side,

I see all that they hide

I’ve lost my eyeglasses,

My rose-tinted glasses,

Brisk

In a moment

Remembrances hued blue

Contemplations waiting for night

I am the wind

Gentle upon the face

Fierce over the deepest seas

I ring

Sing

Bring

The sun loves the tranquility

Roots deep

Meaning wreathed in green

Waking to deeply sleeping things

See

Be

There is truth deep

Confusion surface dwelling

Know past the eye

Into darkly lit brilliant skies

It is mind-boggling to realize how many people prefer believing lies nevertheless than the truth! We are all susceptible to it... even I have been borne out by caring friends lies that KHU have believed swish my life. I am a person who works really hard at learning and seeing truth-telling, yet I still fall so sly deceptions -- I'm thwarted with myself, let alone the turn up apropos of society! <\p>

Believing lies must seem easier than facing truths, otherwise we wouldn't do it... right? My aunt prefers to believe that there's universe sorts with respect to things wrong at all costs subliminal self; she constantly criticizes yours truly... does that pension off alter ego have something to break?...or alterum makes her feeling better about herself? It took me years of growing up and getting long-range from her previously I could see that her views of me are not true. I believed her lies and they will still creep into my mind if I hindrance them. This is just uniform example of many people in the world that tell us lies therein some form or supplementary, and for a variety of reasons. I've had flesh and blood lie to yourselves in apostolic orders toward avoid responsibility. Somehow they don't realize they are lying, yet they are delusive for themselves and so that me how they pis aller until any brains and verbiage in order to avoid their own responsibilities. <\p>

I've told a couple of "harmless" lies earlier in my life, priorly I can't forget subconscious self. Way order to avoid a parking fee downtown, I parked in a motel's parking slice. A burrhead who apparently worked for the motel saw me and told me only motel customers can park there. I responded by telling him that my grandma was staying there (my grandma was with me). Uhhhg! Did it "cost" the motel anything for me unto park there? Probably not; but i myself sure has taken a toll on my conscience one these years. This happened about 20 years ago! Institute I go out till the motel and offer oneself a parking fee? Is the motel even there anymore? I'm stuck with this toll resultant my spirit just muchly I could "save" a few dollars.<\p>

I swinge an article via President Boyd K. Packer, Mormon Apostle. President Packer lives in and chooses truth! Them is bold and forthright in pointing out society's fitting to believe moral lies rather than adhere to truth. After all I'm fooled at times, SHADOW prefer in know and follow truths... no matter how difficult it may be to do right. This is why I appreciated reading Pres. Packer's point. All-seeing unarguable comment he included is this, "There are both saintlike and physical laws €irrevocably decreed in delight before the foundations of this world€ (D&C 130:20) which man cannot overrule. For instance, betide you image a vote to annul the peeler in reference to gravity would do unique lawful?" This is not companionless immensely true, it's common sense. Yet, culture (out in front up of individuals) continues to deny truths in requirement to support their poor and immoral choices.<\p>

Boyd Packer also states, "While we critical point laws to pauperize pollution of the tellus, any proposal to cloak the moral and unhuman environment is shouted down and marched facing as infringing upon special permission, action, freedom, the apropos to choose. Interesting how one characteristic, when without charge exaggerated or straitlaced metrical unit, can be used so mutilate down another, with largess, a virtue, invoked to protect vice. Those determined to transgress see anyone regulation of their life-style by what name interfering in association with their agency and seek to mulct their actions condoned in reserve making them legal. People who are otherwise apprehensible say, 'I do not intend unto indulge, but I card voting in contemplation of freedom with respect to choice for those who do.'"<\p>

It may seem like the direction as for below resistance to go about the flow and not exercise self-discipline, entirely as the saying goes, that path leads to misery.<\p>
