Poor Parker. Seems like a nice guy. Talks about "Truth," and "trying to be kind"... But then he has lunch with a wolf in sheep's clothing...and the slope starts getting a little slippery...

Ah... Say it ain't so, Parker!

truth caveats

"THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE,
BUT FIRST IT WILL MAKE YOU MISERABLE"
To be truthful... To be honest with you... I'm not going to lie... I'm going to be completely honest here... Truth be told...

Honestly.

We shouldn't need these caveats as grown-ups but something happened, didn't it?

We learned that a lie (straight, white, bald-face, bold-face, or simply by omission) is "understandable" in certain situations. And when we let them sneak in, we had to create our caveats for those times when we actually are telling the truth.

Truth helps all of us.

We should tell it always... not just when it's convenient or because we feel we'll be found out if we don't.

I had lunch back in August with Malcolm Gauld, president of the Hyde organization. I'd enjoyed he and his wife's book a few years ago on parenting, The Biggest Job We'll Ever Have. When I found myself invited to Maine this past summer, I gave him a call to discuss his work and the book.

The 10 parenting priorities begin with...

Truth over harmony.

I believe this not to be just a parenting thing, but an all-the-time thing (and think the word "will" in the second part of the quote above should be "might").

wow. Hyde tells all these kinds of lies! they must think they're "understandable"!

how about living a lie? is it less of a lie because you claim you're "helping" children?

I knew a guy that went to Hyde when I did.  Lets call him Russ.  Russ said to me one day, "you know the problem with Joe is that he sees everything in straight lines.  Life is more like a pretzel."   Itis  a conceit that Hyde knows the truth and can help you discern the truth in your life. The all of the other notions that precind from that premise are just the flopsom and jetsam of a vain and undisciplined mind.

  I wold love to meet Napoleon ....
