I Am a Liar

"When we take innocent and open children and train them to be moralists, we train them at one and the same time to be liars. Moralism and lying go hand in hand. Being "good" and "looking good" lead directly to lying.

We conceal ourselves, by lying, because we fear that the pain accompanying the act of self-disclosure will literally destroy us, or fundamentally damage our being in some horrible way, rendering us maimed and dysfunctional. In addition, we fear we may destroy others with our truth-telling."

~Brad Blanton, Radical Honesty


Who among us will begin? Who will start telling what is true for them and show us all how it is done? It is time. And while it may be difficult, with severe consequences, it is without question, better than what we are living now.

I confess: I have made many really big, awful mistakes.

Do you dislike me now? That's okay. I get it.
