The Truth

Posted December 01th, 2020

My 10 year old son, Dylan Maria, came to me, after reading on his Instagram profile a comment by @modenacarlotta, and asked:

"Mommy, how can you understand when people are telling the truth?"

And I: "Sweetie Pie, I am wary of those who boast of telling the truth, because it is the excuse that the ignorant use for lack of imagination. The truth, when there is a truth, must never be stated, but must always be demonstrated. We can never be certain, not even when we tell it, having lived it. The truth is like a blanket that leaves your feet uncovered! You push it down, to cover them, and then it reveals your face. It is never enough and in the end, you have to decide what is it! ".

Each of us should remember that when interacting with a child, it is like writing on a piece of paper. There are those who enrich that "piece of paper" with positive feelings and love and those who smear it with the worst perfidy.

I think there is no doubt which @modenacarlotta belongs to.
