1. I'm always going to tell the truth as I see it
And sometimes the answers will not be pretty.

5. In a long ago "Tumbleweeds" strip, Snake-Eye is being sworn in
in the courtroom, and in answer to the question whether he'd tell the truth, the whole truth, etc., answers, "Up to a point." The sheriff or judge or whatever asks, "Up to what point?" and Snake-Eye says "Up to the point where I start lyin'."

Making sure you remember what and who you are, with controlled inputs, like TV or internet, it can try to change what a person tries to be.


Although when I do go out to play pool, it only takes a few minutes to get back to same level, also mentally doing certain things like remembering pool games, or visualizing shots can keep a person in practice. Interestingly I learned that from a story from a Vietnam Prisoner, he use to build houses nail by nail in his mind while in a prison camp.

I find that interesting...


Seriously, I read it in a book when in grade school. Not about anyone else, just a true story, and when resources like money try to limit your connectivity, you have to create it in your mind to stay who you are.

7. For some people of some thoughts.
A material limitation, is not the same as a spiritual one, although they both have a form of prison analogies, they are different in many ways.

One of them comes from worldly free will choices of many people. The other, in my belief, by decisions made elsewhere.

11. It depends on the attitude of the fault. If it's too much of a dip, I could
be tempted to speak with asperity, or even to let my honesty slip. If the stress rises too high, I might even strike it...
