Browse my blog for musings and writings on mindfulness, dharma, and the many trials and tribulations of human life. Whenever I used to struggle with something, I was convinced I was so alone. Now with a little more wisdom, I know my struggles are your struggles, that being human is messy, and that, above all, we are all in this together.

"I Can Not Tell a Lie"
No one likes to admit that they lie. If you admit to lying it seems to make you some sort of horrible person. After all, don’t we all have etched in our brains George Washington’s supposedly famous statement “ I can not tell a lie” as he confessed his horrible act of cutting down the cherry tree! At least with that story we just learn it is better to tell the truth. But what about the story of the boy that cried wolf? Here we learn that to lie is mean and naughty. Anyway, lying is what others do, not us, not me.
