Do You Prefer the Truth or The Lie?

The movie CLOSER has been kinda recommended to me by a few friends recently and I also wanted to see it myself. Those that have seen it have called the movie, "disturbing", a "mind*uck" and intense --- I watched it with Mell and sis Pat and I left realllly liking the movie.......not... "gotta wait in line for the dvd to come out" like but liked it in such a way because it made me leave after the movie questioning how I would prefer the relationships in my life (of lack thereof).... would I want them completely truthful or full of lies??

After watching CLOSER this evening, I've been faced with asking myself whether I'd prefer the truth or the lie. Is ignorance indeed bliss or does truth really set you free? Does 'fessing up and freeing your own guilt really the right cure even if it leads the other party crazymadpsycho? Or should you carry the burden of your guilt and not tell anyone and punish yourself with the guilt that's hidden in the depths of your soul?

How about gettin' rid of all the guilt and need to decide between truth and lies by NEVER COMMITTING any acts that lead up to that decision to begin with?!?!? Which brings me to the theme of THE MOMENT...that point in your life when you have your freewill, your choice, to decide between A and B? This is the moment where you decide if you want to *uck up or get it right and realize that you better be able to live with it, otherwise, SHUT THE HELL UP and go sit your butt in the corner. Every person has that MOMENT where they say, yes or no. If you have that self-control, that rare, precious ability to think straight.... you just might save yourself some stress in your life, huh?

FREE-WILL. CHOICE. Set your damn self free from the stress. The moment..... is all you've got.

So do I prefer the truth or the lie? Tough question...but I'd have to say...gimme the truth...but dust it with powdered sugar. The heart can only take soooo much fire.
