Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Truth remains true

The truth is simple. Though it is often not easy, or nice, or comfortable.

If someone has to spend thirty minutes explaining himself, he’s not being truthful. Certainly life encompasses many legitimate complexities, yet in those complexities there’s ample space to embed falsehood.

Truth is largely self evident. If something doesn’t seem right, it isn’t.

Truth remains true. One can evade it for a while, perhaps a very long time, but not forever.

To the degree you seek and respect truth, you’re able to understand and deal successfully with reality. That requires work, humility, and escaping the grip of ego, but it’s well worth all that.

See truth, speak truth, act according to your honest understanding of what is true. And discover endless opportunities for authentic living in the potent realm of reality.

— Ralph Marston
