For part of my project I decided to ask some questions of some people on my Lee University campus about what it means to be truthful and what it means to them.  The first question I asked was what the truth meant to them.  It seems to bring some of the people some difficulty defining what the word truth means.  That seems weird as we seem to build our lives upon truth.  As a consensus  most people I talked to defined truth as the absence of lies.  Funny how we define one extreme with the other.  The other question I asked was would you want someone to tell the truth.  As expected, people seem to want to be told the truth.  This is directly contrary to what I have already found.  I'm pretty sure all of the evidence I have collected so far has really solidified my argument that people want to be told the truth unless it would hurt their image.

This weekend, truth is going to mean something extremely intimate to me.  I am taking this time to look as deep inside as I possibly can to find out my personal truths.  This weekend I am going to try to root out all of the things that I have lied to myself about.  Im committed to live the truth that we all claim that we want.
