I listened to the below interview and at one point had to listen to a particular three minute section five or six times to let what he is saying sink into my mind. I think it is good to post it here.
Beginning at 1:14:00 through 1:17:00, the subject of lies is addressed. I've transcribed only the first two minutes below.
“The reason that people lie and the reason that they remain silent, is because they think that things will be easier for them and better, at least in the short term. But the psychological literature on this is pretty damn clear, in fact clearer, I think clearer than any element of clinical psychology literature, which that when you avoid things that stand in your way, that frighten you, you do so at your great peril. If you power away from them in silence, or turn away, seeking security, even sensible security, you violate the principle of your own strength and if you violate the principle of your own strength, you become weak. And if you're weak, there is no security.”
I didn't transcribe the remaining one minute, due to the time involved in play-pause-type etc, however the last minute (my paraphrase here) addresses the outcome of following truth and how the short term, for days, weeks, months and even years may be painful, the outcome is blessings that you didn't even imagine, including personal strength and peace.
Added to the conversation for the edification of those interested in the subject of lies, how they is corrupting society and even our own personal lives and inner peace.
I’m well entrenched in reality, you on the other hand are a jerk who just loves to argue.
Your posts are insane ideas too - Putin jock grabber.
Interestingly, it starts immediately after Rosh Hashana ends.
Rosh Hashana is Sept 15-17.
Interesting timing indeed. They’ll all be together to celebrate something I suppose.
Keep your eyes on Israel, things are getting pretty hot over there.
