The Whole Hard Truth

I’m setting out to create a special place and share it with the world. A space where we can talk about any and everything without identity politics pandering and virtue signaling sucking the real out of the room. I’m willing to gamble on our ability as humans to meet the adult challenge, and in doing so chart a more mature course in the way we agree and disagree.Even in times of tremendous collective angst and social unrest, individual radical truth is something we can all benefit from.Reconstructing my personal life in this fashion has been more than curative and revolutionary... it’s been revelationary (👈🏿 Not a real word... but effective... patent pending).Radical truth isn’t some new age concept either. It’s the foundation of effective therapy.Imagine that.Whole... complete in it’s entirety.Hard... not as in difficult, but concretized.Truth... undeniably vulnerable and imperceptibly indestructible.“The Whole Hard Truth” will be just that. Every conversation. Real people sharing real ideas, real stories, thoughts and realities that we might not always agree with but from which we all can learn. No spin. No b******t.In this exercise we will find out that disagreement and difference is the least of our worry.Dehumanization is our only undoing.Truth, even the kind we don’t like to hear, is our greatest hope. The truth monopolizes itself. It’s like porn... you know it when you see it.Where fact fails, truth prevails. Contained within its design are the building blocks of life itself. What only the teller knows for sure... the listener and seeker can feel without doubt.No one person has the answer to society’s problems, but we all have the ability to be honest in sharing and receiving truth amongst one another with courage and strength, without condemnation.We’ll have fun, sometimes not so much, talk shit, laugh and cry about it. Rarely will all of life’s problems be fixed in an episode and yet... if we want to cure the world, we must first begin with ourselves.In this forum all are welcome and I truly hope that you’ll join in these conversations.
