Truth be Told

Every decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster. Otherwise, why do so many people walk upright and with open eyes into their misfortune.

Wow, is the Truth be Told thing a new segment on Confessions?

Truth is the best, I agree.

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Babylon5

This got an error the first time I posted, so I apologize if it's up here twice. Just contributing a favorite quote of mine.

Dude i.e. Sean:
Truth be Told has been a "segment." For not smoking the hookah, you sure have a bad memory.

I'm a sucker for a good quote, what can I say.

Oh, and why do so many people walk upright and with open eyes into their misfortune?

Because common sense ain't so common.

I like it. I wish I would've posted that one myself.
