So true Michelle. These "Untruths" just slide into the fabric of our society under the radar and therefore mostly unchallenged. With time, they just become our SOPs!
That is so true. We have to get out of automatic mode sometimes and consider the accuracy of what we're hearing. It's like the vaccines are "safe and effective". It's no longer questioned by the general public but assumed to be true - even when confronted with contrary information.
I just found you today and subscribed! I think your father was an exceptional man and you were blessed to have him. As a retired teacher of young children I agree with your son in law about following the rules in the event youngsters are watching. As for your mom, reminding you about how this would look in the newspaper, that probably kept me from from going nuts on difficult students!
Welcome! I'm so glad you found me. Yes, I was blessed to have wonderful parents. I think of them often and whenever something really big happens in my life, they're still the first people to come to mind with my desire to share it with them. I tried to impart their wisdom to my adult daughter throughout her life but it appears that I have failed miserably. My daughter has been estranged from me for 3 years next month. I'm glad that my parents aren't around to witness this as they would be horrified by her behavior. Despite my best efforts, she is lost to me which is the most painful aspect of my life.
"The way out of this is simply to refuse to lie, or to cover for the lies of others". This is a great read that fits with your substack today.
