''BEST'' Medicine -- TRUTH


CONSIDER THIS...
HONESTY To Yourself---
''EVIDENTLY, Not As EASY As It Looks.''

---We find that telling Ourselves what is True, is truly the Best Medicine. We have all been told that it is Laughter. Let's look at this.
---Have you ever looked at what really makes us laugh? It is usually someone telling the truth about something, even in a silly way. If you take it All very seriously, then you probably don't laugh a lot. I think it has much to do with flexibility. How flexible are we? Life accepts us as we are, but we judge ourselves and others very hard. As Erma Bombeck used to say,''If You Can LAUGH At It, You Can LIVE With It.''
---If we are flexible enough to laugh on occasion, we create a space in which we can grow. Laughing at others is not what I'm talking about. Peoples behavior can be very funny, but laughing AT someone can be very cruel. If someone sees something as serious, laughter than can seem, at best, inappropriate. Have you ever noticed how funny things can seem, even about ourselves, when enough time has gone by and the circumstances have changed. And ALL THINGS CHANGE.
---Things that brought us to tears at onetime, may not affect us the same now. We ALL grow and change. If we are flexible enough to ''roll with the punches,'' I think we do better. Flexibility and Laughter create space and everything doesn't seem so crunching. It gives us Perspective. If the other person is not laughing or smiling at his own behavior, then it is probably a safe bet that maybe, as a cue, we shouldn't either. Things may seem funny, but when it hits us personally, it may take awhile. It is all very Relative to the Flexibility involved.

---Telling Ourself TRUTH. Good Start---
.
---Telling the Truth to Ourselves is a very good start. After all, this will make us flexible and not to take everything so seriously. We seem to judge the level of ''FUNNY'' on who it happens. We are ''All Alright,'' but we have to Realize this. When we do, we laugh more and everything is not as crunching. We are more flexible and see ourselves as less ''tragic.'' We are more Objective. In this way, we see that, ''The Truth CAN Make Us Free.''' Be Well.
