Questioning Truth
Someone says something that is the truth and, before we know it, we get carried away.
Just because someone says something is true doesn’t mean we know it’s true.
This is why we are advised to test the words so that we don’t immediately stroll off ‘knowing’. š
We need to take time to consider it under all conditions.
Becoming dependent is a state where our happiness, self-worth, and security are entirely tied to another person’s approval. Dependency becomes a problem when we feel we cannot function on our own. We grow up looking for a saviour. If we don’t value ourself, we rely on others to define our worth.
Religion is a tricky place.
Its potential is either bondage or liberation.
Are we open or defensive?
