I think it is time that I try to define clarity.
This is coming up because I wrote somewhere about perfect clarity.
Maybe a better phrase would be perfect honesty. Clarity is part of it but it also is the ability to sense a lie and admit when there is little known about a subject, instead of jumping to conclusions that are based on no more than paradigms of nonsense.
The most important form is honesty with oneself. With the retention of self-respect, that self-honesty easily translates into honesty with others. Perfect honesty is not as difficult as it seems. I still haven't a clue how Humanity will deal with the gentle lies, the lies that mean well. Will they continue? Or, are the all just a legacy of sentience confronting the animal?
I doubt there is one in a billion men that are completely and totally honest with themselves. I excelled at sensing a lie and not responding at all in this lifetime and that explains so much. It's just that there are so many lies flying around that it drove me crazy. I would not take part in a lie. That's where this all started.
Sometimes I wonder if this is what neurodiversity (certain high functioning versions) is all about. Is it a sense of just how wrong things are and the accompanying difficulty in coping with it/putting up with it?
