The Truth and Nothing But the Truth
Kill Me With The Truth
Kill me with the truth.
The lie is so sweet and tender.
Runs down my spine like the lizard you are.
The truth might be bitter fruit.
But it stems from the root.
Ease your tongue upon my brow.
And the fallacies will create a frow.
No human is ever 100% right all the time.
None of the prophets were 100% right all of the time.
The disciples were not 100% right all the time.
Sometimes it is okay to be wrong,
For it is where our humility lives.
Jesus was even corrected at least once according to the written account of his time with the disciples.
Our mistake is thinking when we find or learn we are wrong
That we should hide it.
Instead,
Acknowledge it,
Embrace it,
Learn from it,
Then let it go.
You are not God, even though you were made in his image.
An image is rarely an exact replication of the original.

Why Women Need to Earn Money
In an increasingly realistic world, we witness a growing trend: more and more women are choosing to remain single, while an increasing number of men find themselves in the same situation. Late at night, as you close your eyes, you may find yourself imagining a world that’s rapidly changing.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

I love this poem! It's true we often feel shame and embarrassment when we make mistakes, but instead, we should embrace those mistakes to grow and live to our full potential in life. Like you said, no one is 100% correct, but the beauty of being human is that we can continuously grow and mature throughout life.
Love it !

BEAUTIFUL! I have found the Truth overtakes you rattles tingles shakes you... And when those so certain demand you to defend and prove... The Truth whispers, "Beloved, stand quiet. and be not moved."
