To Lose? Or To Lose One’s Very Soul?

To tell people the truth – Or to tell them what they want to hear.

To lose … or to lose one’s very soul.

That … is the question.

Tell people what they want to hear.
That's how you get elected.
That's how you get hired.
That's how you get promoted.
That's how you get laid.

Tell people the truth.
That's how you lose elections.
That's how you get fired.
That's how you get sued for sexual harassment.
That's how you be lonely.

Tell people what they want to hear.
That's how you lose you very self.
That’s how you be weak.
That’s how you hate yourself.
That’s how you be a slave.

Tell people the truth.
That’s how you find yourself.
That’s how you be strong.
That’s how you love yourself.
That’s how you be free.

What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his very soul?

The world is not enough.

It is never too late to be the person you want to be.

In the end, it will be the things you didn’t do that you will regret the most.
