Truth Be Told

In this pod, Meeks delves into the meaning of truth within the context of relationships and the its greater implication in society. He references the Nas lyrical quote "how can I trust you when I can't trust me?" as a starting point. We should only expect the truth in a loving relationship, if we are willing to also be truthful. Next he gets into how nice, good, and evil people view and apply truth. This distinction is important because we need to be able to discern that some people are vaguely truthful, while others highly transparent, and others still, are abject liars and cannot be trusted. Knowing whom you can trust and be open with builds real relationships, develops communities, and sustains societies.
