I found that one out the hard way. Sometimes it seems you just have to pick the right time to give people just a little bit of the truth. If they want to know it all, I think they’ll come back or begin to search for themselves.

In certain situations time will be your only vindicator. Over time the truth will always stand. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what the “dosage” is, people seem allergic to the truth. Truth makes you accountable! And that’s the last thing some people want to be. If truth is convenient, then it’s okay. But when it is inconvenient…..then people don’t want it.

I think the truth stands, but it keeps getting buried, and people have to keep digging it up every generation. Seems as though if you uncover 4 feet of dirt in your lifetime, then someone is going to come along and bury it under 5 for your children.

True!! Truth has to sometimes be uncovered or exposed with each generation!
