Well the truth has gotten me into trouble again.  The ideas themselves did not put me in bad situations, but more the fact that I did not hesitate with what I say.  I have equated the truth as telling whatever it is that is my honest opinion or is backed up by fact.  How this is played out is that I hold my tongue to lies, but let loose anything that isn't contradictory.  Unfortunately, this also means things that I probably shouldn't say.  It's weird to think that the truth has gotten me into trouble.  That is completely against what this whole project was about.  I think that this outcome is kind of stupid.  How in the world is truth getting me into trouble?  That is just frustrating.

Maybe what I thought this project was about and what reality was are two different things.  Maybe my idea of truth was partially to not let things be held back in my mind.  This is not to say that my sole purpose was to just blurt out everything that I'm thinking.  I honestly want to see what people think of the truth.  This is not the way that I wanted this project to go.  I hate hurting people's feelings and I feel personally responsible, but also throwing some blame on this project.  It has conditioned me to not think so much about the little things, and to think heavily on the things that truly matter.

In a way, this project has been good and bad, looking over the entire spanse of this undertaking.  For one, I am more honest with myself in both mind and action.  When people ask about my ideas, I get excited to share thoughts and feelings.  This is a very freeing thing to accomplish.  However, in multiple occasions I have jeopardized friendships because of simple what I thought.  That was not the intended outcome and I wish that path was never taken.  This has given me a good definition of what truth actually stands for.  I'm just not sure what that is yet.
