Titantically living

I know I am one of the very few people who do not care for the movie Titanic. But I have never minded being in the minorty. For some reason I just don't care to watch an inevitable tragedy happen. One of the saddest things to watch is when people are dumped into the ocean and while trying to tread water to save their own lives, they'll pull at anything to stay above the water line. And often times they shove other people under the water to their deaths, while struggling to stay alive. That image is a vivid portrait of a life that is not lived in truth. It is a person who lives a life that is clouded with words that dance around truth but never embrace it. And the longer it goes the more holes their ship takes on until one day they find themselves treading for their lives in the cold waters of dishonesty. What seemed perfectly harmless at first of not being transparent can lead to a way of life that drowns the best of intentions. The end is almost always the same as they flail about for their lives, they grasp for anything to stay afloat. And too many times they end up drowning those around them for a few more seconds of air. Treat the truth like gold. Embrace it. Make it a way of life. Let your yes be yes and your no, no.
