I had to really stop and think about this, Colleen. You’ve touched upon something very deep, and I think crucial when truth is often hard to trust. This is worth contemplating.
After I wrote this I remembered hearing or reading that “omission” is like lying. I think that is not always the case. In writing this I was thinking about the things we don’t tell others, and not only do we not tell some of our truths, we don’t feel a need to lie to divert attention. We just don’t speak them. I think that is a ‘right’. We don’t owe all of our truths to anyone. It was just a thought I had that I wanted to capture.
