Jordan Peterson says be honest with your wife immediately small fire, bottle it up and tell her later inferno

🎯🎯🎯 Lying is high time preference. The negativity compounds over time, worsening peace of mind and therefore life, inevitably, for self and immediate family. Honesty is the basis for creating a strong foundation for yourself, and for civilization. 🧡🧡🧡

And everytime you lie, you have to keep that lie going forever in fear of being called out as a liar. It will eventually be found out too. Easier to just tell the truth , then you have nothing to keep track of

That’s the truth

Be a new radical, and you will get what you give

Yes but I think the issue is when to speak and not to speak. When to pick your fights …

People pleaser here. Saying “yes” and “sure” are on autopilot - regardless of intention/action. Saying no means freedom. Saying no is extremely difficult.

K cool. Haha. I think you should pay an invoice for posterity sake. Hahaha. Remember the time we did 1 million? 😉✅️

The amount of energy required to maintain a lie over time compounds.

I don't understand why someone would lie when they don't have to. So I don't understand how lying is "easy in the moment", but there are so many situations for so many people where lying is pretty necessary or else they definitely live a worse life. E.g. most children with their parents, or in schoo...

Honesty is like a tree, stands firmly thanks to its roots. On the contrary lies can’t stand in face of the wind and can’t go far.

Lying is a waste of time.

Yes. I think about this quote a lot. https://m.primal.net/HyJG.jpg

"Tell the truth. All the time. About everything. What’s the alternative to radical honesty? Waste. Wasted time, wasted money, wasted possibilities - a wasted life." Brad Blanton

Great advice!

someone said "when you tell the truth, what happens next is the least bad reaction that would eventually happen" and i try to live by that since

If only there were some kind of cryptocurrency blockchain that embodied this commitment.
