Life is not 'trying to survive.' Life is surviving and celebrating. Survival is basic and is a start followed by celebration. Truth is one's sincere, open, honest view which I see as the realm of the heart. There are times that I have been very content in my truth and there was absence of conflict which included a nonfighting sense that my truth is my truth whether the other agrees or not, and felt a lightness without defense or offense. What helps me appreciate such times is the many times that I have held onto my truth while being defensive and ready to fight. What helps me welcome a relationship with truth is increase in openness to learn, increase in acceptance of others and different viewpoints, increase in comfort with self.
