falcongrrlI hope that one day I'll be wise enough to speak my truth in a way that is kinder, more nonconfrontational.
For now, part of me's just glad that I do eventually say what I think. For so much of my life I've shied away from expressing myself, equivocated, tried not to hold too much of an opinion about anything. That dynamic even affected my writing--rendered me, in effect, mute for over ten years.
Even now, I only say the really important stuff to a chosen few.
But then, sometimes I think that means that I only hurt those dearest to me. And I hate that.

Date: 2006-04-09 10:46 pm (UTC)The practice of yoga (not the physical practice but the all-encompassing practice of linking the mind and the gross self to the true Self) includes the principle of satya, truthfulness. Yes, ideally, you are not supposed to speak any truth that is harmful. But when there is more harm in staying silent, that has to be weighed too.
