Truth

My whole life I was told to tell the truth, lying is bad. Well I do not lie I am pretty straight forward. What I want to know is why nobody can handle the truth? At the very least why is my preceptions discounted? Though we live amoungst others we function and develop memories seperate from those around even though the scene is the same. We are each affected by that which we are exposed to a diferent way. I can only answer to what I have experienced though I have the ability to remove myself and have the most needed empathy in some cases. Part of my education at work is about diversity. Diversity is not just about race, sex, or ethnic background. It is about accepting people for who they are and their limitations and strengths. We each process things different hence the glass half empty, half full; you say tomato I say tomatoe.We each need to STOP and remember that our preceptions drive us not others.
