But more often than not in life. So many people censor themselves. So this quote to me, if the truth shall kill them, let them die, it's not to literally mean they should die and no longer exist. But socially speaking, you have to kill their comfort zone. And the death of that comfort zone is the truth

It sounds like a double meaning there, but in the sense that life is uncomfortable and to be not afraid of, the discomfort is kind of a beautiful thing, and it invites you to say the little deaths we experienced by not being in our truths, they steal life away. You rightly. Say it's not a literal physical death. It's the death of spirit. It's a death of being in a moment that could be fully lived. So we sabotage all the time by hiding away

Like I'm okay with where I stand in my life and what I've accomplished and what I haven't accomplished and the fear of living the life that I truly want and lying to myself about why I can't do X, Y and Z. So thank you for that. I mean, I hope it makes sense. I'm just kind of talking my head, but thank you for that. They really hit home with me. So I appreciate it. Thanks. Bye

Hey, thanks for talking off your head, lady. Oh, that was good. That was really interesting to apply it to lyrics that speak the truth as well. And the truth is that we're all liars from his perspective. And from the context of that song, boy, does it make sense? Sense? I'm going to paste the lyrics here so that others can meditate on Kanye's words. Here you go

It just is what it is. And I feel naturally it will conflict more so than unify. It will conflict more because society and the human condition has shown time and time again that there's sort of a conflation of truth, a conflation of identity, a conflation of reality to where we mold it to fit the standard. More so than the ideal for people, ideally does not always factor in to standardized ways of living in truth

I'm not the only one that feels that society at times doesn't want me to be who I am because it doesn't resonate with who they are. And there's always going to be this conflict of how much will I give of myself and how much will I take away. I used to all the time think that everybody was honest and Truthful in their light and in their element and all that stuff, right?

I think it sounds really nice to talk about truth in this sort of way where it's liberating and Noble. But I don't really think most people want that. I think they want the narrative or the story or the bits of the truth that are fulfilling or healing or whatever the case may be, but not in opposition to their core identity and who they believe they are

But what is the purpose of that shoe? That's where a person's truth can begin, because some people will simply say it's to walk. End of story. But some people may say that shoe was made to get you to your path of enlightenment, and they might make up some other story about the other shoe, whatever it may be. But it's the perspective within truth that is so vital. Subjectivity is humanity, right? There is nothing more human than their subjective perspective on life
