Truth or Consequences
We can wait to see what happens in life and, at the end, probably judge fairly correctly to what extent we have matured well; the victim’s way of thinking. Or, during life, we can take the dynamic approach of seeking to find and apply the principles that lead to appropriate maturing and its many paybacks.
And as damaging as telling a lie is, living a lie (trying to con others – often deceiving ourselves) has far greater negative consequences; yes, life really is one of truth or consequences!
