Going along with the idea of biblical truth, I asked some people what their views were on biblical truth.  The first question I asked was what does the Bible say about truth?  Mostly people answered with always tell the truth, God is truth, and the truth will set you free.  When I asked them what does the Bible say about lying, they would respond with don't do it and lying is a sin.  Finally, I asked is it ok to tell a white lie, and do you do it.  Most responded with the idea that even white lies are bad, some did not.  Almost everyone agreed that they tell white lies.  There are always a few who do not own up to it.  Overall, the survey showed how shallow we are about truth.  We simply take the idea of truth without examining it.  Sure, taking the idea of truth without question can be a solid foundation, but at this point in a student's life, I would imagine that truth would have sunk in deeper.  Don't get me wrong, I think that as a whole we do a great job at trying at the truth.  We also have a very kiddie pool understanding of it.

Since I am telling the truth in every circumstance, I am honestly ready for this project to be done.  I have so much information and teachings that I have acquired, that I could teach a whole lesson on this stuff.  Also, while this project was a great idea, I also think that it is holding me back.  Hear me out on this, the idea of always having to tell the truth seems honorable in and of itself.  The problem arises when the truth almost can seem cheap when you have no choice.  I recently watched a movie called equilibrium.  It is based around the idea that emotions are uncontrollable and should be taken out of the equation.  The issue is that when we take out our ability to feel we lose our humanity.  The main character realized that to be spontaneous  irrational, and having the ability to fail is human.  Part of what makes us who we are is the fact that at any moment, we could fall apart.  We feel, we fail, we fall in and out of what life gives us.  This roller coaster of life is what makes it worth living.  In the good times, we look for joy.  In the bad times, we look for hope.  That's what I want to live from now on.  I want to have a choice in the matter of what I say.  For without the ability to fail, my teaching is meaningless.
