I have never seasoned a truth with the sauce of a lie in order to digest it more easily.
- Marguerite Yourcenar
(1903-1987)
Seasoning the truth with the sauce (or spice) of a lie...I believe it is human nature to lie to oneself from time to time...
Is it healthy? No, I doubt it.
Have we all done it? Yes, I believe so.
Lately, I have come to prefer foods in their natural state with limited spices and sauces. I have found this way of eating is actually better for my health and digestion. Could the same be said of digesting truth in its natural state? Yes, I believe so...although one must be courageous enough to swallow it...to chew on it long enough and to avoid choking...
