Face it

“Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.”―
Tell all the truth but tell it slant –
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind –
Defeat Despair 
Julia, that’s an interesting quote, and a nice poem to demonstrate the way forward when it seems difficult.
One of my favorite examples of denying the hard truth is ‘COL Jessup in A Few Good Men’. He thinks LTJG Kaffee can’t handle the truth, but it’s the Colonel who’s wrong! I tried to put the YouTube link here, but this site wouldn’t allow.
Hope all is good with you and Matt! 🙏
Hey, the clip came through fine! I enjoyed watching it again. I’ve never been a Tom Cruise fan but with Jack Nicholson, you only need one actor to make the scene work.
Well, I think my link might have been included in the previous post! 😊
Cheers!
Yes, it was!
