Living in truth

“…that one day something in our greengrocer snaps and he stops putting up the slogans merely to ingratiate himself. He stops voting in elections he knows are a farce. He begins to say what he really thinks at political meetings. And he even finds the strength in himself to express solidarity with those whom his conscience commands him to support. In this revolt the greengrocer steps out of living within the lie. He rejects the ritual and breaks the rules of the game. He discovers once more his suppressed identity and dignity. He gives his freedom a concrete significance. His revolt is an attempt to live within the truth …


He has shattered the world of appearances, the fundamental pillar of the system…He has demonstrated that living a lie is living a lie. He has broken through the exalted façade…and exposed the real, base foundations of power…He has shown everyone that it is possible to live within the truth. Living within the lie can constitute the system only if it is universal…everyone who steps out of line denies it in principle and threatens it in its entirety …”
Vaclav Havel- Living in truth


Be the truth and live the truth. Not one inch

  1. All I can say is women wanted in the locker room. This was the plan from the very beginning to demoralize both sexes. Well, they now have their way. This all falls under the heading “be careful for what you ask for” saying. Remember in the 90s it was all the hot button issue “the unfair lines at women’s restroom’s” and strong women storming the bathroom’s. Well now it’s here.

  2. …and notice, none of the so called “men” on Riley’s men’s swim team nor any of the “men” throughout the NCAA’s swim federation had anything to say back then or now, which speaks volumes.
