Wandering Thought #233: Trueness
‘Be true to yourself’. This is often said, taken to mean ‘to listen to your heart and head, and to do what you really feel and know is right’. But what if being true to yourself means not being true to someone else?
And what if everyone being true to themselves means going against everyone else? There would be chaos and being true to ourselves would not make any sense at all.
The truth is, for there to be true harmony, we must be true to ourselves and everyone else at the same time.
The only way to do so is to nurture perfect compassion and wisdom – for one(self) and all (other beings). The path of being true is to become one with this truth.
