"That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as a truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were the truths and they were all beautiful."--Sherwood Anderson
Just stop and think about this the truths we create. What about the truth you have created for your self or for/about others? I was thinking after reading this for a class this week that I want to keep all truths beautiful. Later in the book Anderson goes on to explain that it was the truths that makes people grotesque and not the truths them self.
In the past I know that I have held many truths to be "grotesque" and I want that to change. I want beauty in my truth. I hold my self accountable for all of my actions and I feel that at times I want too much of my self causing a unhappy and unsatisfying truth of me. What am I going to change? My expectations for me!!! Things do not change quick and I will try!!
