This one is brutally short and simple. And builds on what I’ve written previously on not able to handle the truth.

Many people like to rationalize.

That’s how evil wins out.

I don’t want to rehash what I’ve experienced and narrated elsewhere in the writing. What I saw professionally and personally. The effects are grotesque.

There is no real need to label anyone but if you can’t call out the behavior, we’re doomed.

To do otherwise is dishonest and dishonoring.

Hurtful too.

It is also indefensible.

I take a lot of solace now in the presence of God, wise friends, and enduring songs.

Those are where the love and truth is found.

They heal and set us free.

Nothing else.
