TELL ME: THE TRUTH
DON'T TELL ME: LIES
One week. Yeah, as of this morning we are just one week into the new year: 2026, when we were all wishing one another "happy" new year! Seriously? Happy? Hoping/thinking it might be better - a wee bit, a tiny bit better than the year we were leaving behind? Well, if you pay attention, follow any news at all, you know now how foolish that thinking was. We're not naive enough to think our government [and politicians all] haven't told lies to the public for decades. They have, they do. Yet not, never at the level - openly, boldly, blatantly as now, by this horrific administration. There is no truth telling anymore.
And yes: if you were to tell me that I am clever, kind, talented, cute, sensitive, graceful, wise ... and perfect ... I WOULD KNOW: that is a lie. That is not the TRUTH. Perhaps Purr-haps, somewhere within those words there may be little bits of truth telling, a few little scraps of things I strive toward, as we each do in our own daily lives. As we each try to be a better person ... kind toward one another, sensitive to another's needs, cute: well, probably left that one behind when we were babies or toddlers! And perfect? Never do we humans achieve this between cradle and grave.
So, tell me the TRUTH.
we wonder too ... maybe someone exchanged the happy new year with the grumpy step brother?
ReplyDeleteIt's a very stressful world that we live in and we do our best to stay happy and productive. Mom has taken to watching The View and Jimmy Kimmel and she's happier with watching those shows rather than watching the news.
ReplyDeleteOf course you are clever, June. I just wish world leaders were too. The orange one is dead set on leading us into another war, even though the majority of rational thinking humans want peace.
ReplyDeleteWell, in truth, I feel that we're already inexorably moving toward another world war. In truth, I feel that humanity is already doomed, along with the planet we have destroyed. But...in truth, I know nothing and cannot foresee the future. Perhaps, eventually, wiser and kinder minds will prevail. Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteSending you love and Light. 💕
I like that poem. My hope is that by the end of this year (think November) the people will have voted enough Democrats to congress that the entire administration can be impeached and removed before they start WW III.

ReplyDeleteOver 100-150 posts on Christmas Day alone, in an "unhinged" spree that continued into the early morning.
Truth is, I feel disoriented now. This almost doesn't feel like the same country I grew up in and lived in for so long ...
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that all kitties are purrfect and many humans (too many) stink!

The world is being insulted, and even more so are the American people.
ReplyDeleteAll cats are perfect and that is the truth, at least in my eyes. XO
ReplyDeleteSadly, we think it’s only going to get worse. :(
ReplyDeleteIt’s all so wrong and out of control. Surely somehow we must put a stop to all this. - Sue at the Portie blog
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that I am living in a bubble. Been there since covid. Now in a state of being short tempered and anxious beyond anything I ever presumed I could be. But I have days, minutes and hours when I feel normal. I am feeling very hopeless due to the fact this has been allowed to go on. I feel like I will never be able to lay my head on my pillow at night and feel safe, feel peace. Safe in every definition of the word. I do not know where we will go from here. I gather happiness and strength from the blogs I follow.
ReplyDeleteYou are all of those wonderful things sweet June! Our Country needs to be looking for a hand basket.
ReplyDeleteTruth, we are here to be the hands The Almighty uses for helping each other. I hope more people start remembering this soon.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very stressful, scary, eventful start of the year
ReplyDeleteOne year down. Three more to go June. Just take deep breaths!
