The Truth Factor

Truth may have many aspects, but without truth there is no trust.  I want to help, but not be manipulated because help should make sense and lead to some logical conclusion.

When truth begins to morph like a crazy amoeba trying to escape a pot of boiling water my tolerance drops to zero.

 The urge to stick a spoon into that water and offer a way out conflicts with a desire to pour the whole thing down the drain.

Any help I give may turn out to be wrong because I don't know what is truly going on.

What is the point of helping someone out if they are only going to crawl into another bad place? 

Life is a series of decisions and learning to make good ones means doing uncomfortable things once in a while but it is also a cumulative process and each step's effectiveness depends on the validity of the one before it.

Truth is complicated and simple.  It factors in all the thoughts, feelings, situations--and the closer they come to reality the more likely a good solution is.
