Can honesty be taken too far? How far is that distance? Is it where a spoken truth reaches deep inside, roots about in your gizzard, right next to the cockels of your heart? Perhaps on its journey through your innards, that truth even changes your perceptions of the world around you.An uncomfortable feeling to be sure.
I'm not talking about simply making a true statement of fact. Anyone can do that, and still remain comfortable to their companions. I am referring to the type of truth that resonates something deep in the human soul and speaks of a common condition. Truth can expose things better left hidden, truth can heal, truth can harm.
Truth is a monster under the bed, you can ignore it most of the time, but when you are alone and vulnerable, it is there...waiting for you to acknowledge it. It requires strength of character, intestinal fortitude and moral fiber to face truth, acknowledge it, and let it change you for the better.

Quote for the Day
and sometimes, its not about whether you need something or not...just whether or not you can have it.

Things you can learn watching movies
Last night, I watched two movies. "Take the Lead" with Antonio Banderas and "Silver Hawk" a campy, martial-arts filled comic book hero movie.
Since I lay awake at night, thinking about these types of things...Here are some lessons to be learned from watching movies.
Let's learn from Take the Lead first.
Antonio has "plenty of play". Ok, that's not really a life lesson, but it does have to be said.
If you learn to respect someone, it is difficult to hate that person. WOW! The answer to world peace, right in front of your eyelashes.
Sometimes, making the right decision is painful.
Following takes as much strength as leading. To follow, you must make a choice to let someone else make the decisions..Necessary skills: trust, respect. Difficulty rating: 10
Ok, and now for what we can learn from "Silver Hawk"
Little girls can be mean.
Wearing a mask that only covers half of your face doesn't really protect your identity.
If you are trying to take over the world, don't advertise.
If you are trying to take over the world, you need really good henchmen.
If you are the bad guy, you need to have a self-destruct sequence...bonus points if you can kill the superhero. Too bad those points are only good if you survive.
Black is the new black for bad guys...some things never go out of style.
