I find myself listening with great interest to the troubles of others. When someone presents me with some conflict, I am surprised by how often the problem cannot be understood because of deceit or willful blindness. Whether it’s conscious deceit or staying silent when one needs to say something important, the lack of truth reveals itself to be at the core of many relational problems. Largely influenced by the wisdom of Jordan Peterson, the path forward I take is usually encouraging people to come face to face with the truth.
