#sharing truth

If I tell you something personal about my life that I normally wouldn’t share with others, I’m not sharing it for you to sympathize or even empathize. I can do that for myself. I’m sharing because I want you to understand my brain and why I act the way I do, I want you to know me. That’s me being vulnerable and honest with you about me as a human being. Don’t weep for me, be glad you get to know me.

it may have been my teachers in community college (not COLLEGE, but the humans  there i was lucky enough to take instruction from) who taught me to streamline my language. but it was not there that i would be taught to speak from the heart—clearly and uncluttered—and at all times to ware the ego. that was from growing up in rooms of people giving satsang.
