Truth_Teller

A long time ago, I realized that for me, there is no point in trying to tell lies---because I am naturally a truth teller.  I recall, as a child, my sister stating something to the effect, “Let me ask him.  He will not tell a lie!”

During my adolescence, I sometimes viewed this trait as a liability, and even tried to cultivate the ability to prevaricate---but alas, it didn’t come naturally to me!  When I matured, I realized that truthfulness is an asset, not a liability.  Today, I take pride in the fact that people who know me, trust me.

Observing the state of journalism today, I perceive a great need for trustworthy, truthful writers.  Discerning readers have learned to take the written word “with a grain of salt”, because slanted and misleading articles seem to have become the norm, rather than the exception.

It is my intention to write on a variety of topics---but NEVER to slant my writing in order to gain financial support.  I will tell the truth, even to my own hurt---and I will not avoid a topic just to remain politically correct.
