Being free from falsehoods, at the end of the day, means being free from falsehoods about ourselves. If we can truly be honest with ourselves, we’ve achieved something. There are many areas where I don’t know the truth. I have to search them out to find them. The truth about myself, however, can be discovered if I have the courage to do it. The truths outside myself just takes the effort to find out. The truths about myself take some effort, but also a complete willingness to be honest with myself. That willingness to be honest can be the hardest part.
I guess I’m kind of addressing a recurring theme here. What I wrote yesterday kind of goes along the same lines. In talking about being rational, it can be the case that the area we are the least rational are the areas that have to do with us and our character. Our biggest blind spots often involve the ones where we have to look at our own reflection. A flaw someone else easily sees in us might not even show up on our own radar. One of the biggest causes of these blind spots is pride—also fear. But pride and fear are kind of two sides of the same coin. The reason we are prideful to begin with is based on our fear of being insignificant. We falsely inflate our sense of self so we can convince ourselves that we matter. We do matter. But this is just us trying to attain that significance in a false way.
The things that we ignore and overlook are the bars that hold us in and keep us bound. It’s counter-intuitive. We think we can ignore them and just move on. But that’s not the case. We can’t move forward to true freedom until those things are addressed. We may try to pretend, we may try to walk on like nothing’s wrong, but we’re really just dragging a cage of bars along with us. As cumbersome as that is, we try to convince ourselves that we can do it.
I admit some truths about ourselves are tough to address. Although it’s a really simple concept, no one ever said it would be easy. But I do think we underestimate the value of being truly free from the things that are holding us back. We’ve yet to realize our full potential when we have fully left behind our hang-ups and hindrances—those things we start to scrape off like barnacles on a boat. It can’t be just ignored. Eventually they slow us down so much that they have to be addressed. It’s OK if it takes us some time to do it. We may have to come in to shore for a while for a bit of an overhaul. But if we take that time, we’ll reap the rewards and be able to head back out to sea unencumbered.
