: : well eh..maybe its not honesty i think that would "kill" her...it just may have been that there are dark things that are not seen that plague her mind..its not honesty that kills...lies dont save..but yeah..you and i are gonna disagree but i still will state what i have to say....lies dont save...hey..i cannot and will not agree on that one..if they did...then hey..i am skerewed..for real....cuz i dont practice that lies save ideal..
: I don't think that Bob is saying "lies save" I think he is just demonstrating that total honesty is sometimes not appropriate or healthy. You just don't disclose everything to everybody. If you do you are setting yourself up for trouble. You can seriously hurt people with honest information as Bob points out. You can make yourself unnecessarily vulnerable by disclosing things and feelings about yourself. To do this is to not use the brain God gave you. No where does scripture say that you have to be totally honest at all times. Of course you are not to lie, but to just be real with everyone all the time is not wise. The only person you need to be totally honest with is yourself.
eh..well i can feel ya kat on this whole not lettin everyone know every single detail..thats good stuff..i try my best to be real and its not in lettin everyone know everything..its in just bein myself..tryin to learn from people..just lovin people..just being Raul...yeah..and at times it involves me speakin my mind...i think thats a good place to be...not that i have arrived but yeah.
