Defining

Is one of the ways that can be used to describe a person’s character by this or that in the sense that how they act in tight situations; it is defining.
If anyone has become backed into a corner and had to make a decision on their way out of handling that sticky problem with smart choices would therefore be considered the right alternative and positive behavior.

And so when someone does something in spite of or because they are not happy with another’s behavior than that is quite defining too and I would go as far as saying not too good, huh?
It’s a daily thing with most of us living our lives, those choices…
Bad or good some would say everything in life is either that or black and white; too simple I ask where is the gray?
I seem to always see the gray.
Except when it comes to telling the truth in life that for some reason I am stuck in needing to be around honest truthful people…
And when anyone takes advantage of my trust by lying I go berserk!
Does anyone else?
Some people believe not telling the truth or all the truth unless asked specifically that it is not a lie, got that?

Here’s a hypothetical problem for you all… Someone you know when asked if they smokes cigarettes says no, and then weeks later when again confronted due to an odor of smoke emanating from them admits to smoking only cigars!
Is that considered lying?
You see here is where I am confused.
Are partial truths lying or not?
Any-who, to me it is always disturbing to not be able to trust someone who does not have a clear cut objective of knowing the difference between what is true or not, got that?
Some say it is a flaw of inheritance; another question of nature over nurture.
Others would say more the latter and that would be if they see a parent lying and getting away with it then they think they can too?

Hmmm, I would have to think back hard to try to remember all those years ago when my sons were small if I ever was that blatantly dishonest in front of them or even behind their backs. And I am coming up empty, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t do it. I really hope that I didn’t.
Now I suppose I can see that gray with lying too.
Many don’t realize when doing such a thing how its ramifications may affect others, really?
Hibernating to come through perhaps years later, oh I don’t know but it still hurts when you catch someone you care about in a lie!
This lying to protect thingy gets me the most confused.
Doesn’t the bible say the truth will set you free?
Well, that’s rather hypocritical of someone who hasn’t picked up a bible in I don’t know how many years like myself!
You see that?
I am the one who is guilty of too much information, not too little!
It must seem to most people as if I am always confessing, huh?
I may be for fear of something dreadful going to happen if I don’t tell the truth and to everyone, wow that’s scary!
But that would explain a lot of this exposé that I try not to leave anything out that might be relevant for the Almighty’s wrath coming down on me, I guess I am not that Agnostic after all, ha.

That would prove to be something most definitely defining of my own character, huh?

A preponderance of an idea for us all to think about when we regain that time we are always running out of, well isn't it worthy of your reflection, but that’s me TMI Tobi?


On that note of a challenge to all of you to try to be first honest with yourselves and then with everyone you care about and so now I will wish you all a very happy good night and to all count those blessings and please share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
