A half truth is a full lie. Yiddish Proverb

A lie gets half way around the world before the truth gets his pants on. Winston Churchill

Reminds me of the opening scene in Crazy Rich Asians.
Throughout history half truths and lies have been used to discredit opponents, create confusion and instil fear.  Today instead of rumours behind closed doors we have social media.  JFK said, no matter how big the lie, repeat it often enough and the masses will believe it.  This is the Illusory Truth Effect

Limiting exposure and restricting ourselves to reputable sources is a start. Remember, Everything we hear is an opinion not a fact and everything we see is a perception not the truth. Marcus Aurelius  

Gossip dies when it hits a wise person's ears. anon
This week I invite you to be the wise one by seeking, speaking, and living your truth. 

Sing Your Song

The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature. - Pythagoras (569- 475 BC)

Every morning I wake up to the sound of birds.They sing with their hearts and souls ….. not because they have an answer, they sing because they have a song. Chinese Proverb They sing to attract a mate, to mark a territory and for sheer joy.

Each song is unique, learned through imitation and sung with gusto. The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. Henry Dan Dyke

This week consider Life is a song. It has its own rhythm of harmony. It is a symphony of all things which… unites the whole into a grand symphony of life. To learn through experience in this life, to appreciate the symphony and lessons of life and to blend with the whole, is the object of our being here. - Dr. Randolph Stone
