I told the truth at work and am getting absolutely demolished for it. That makes me even more determined to keep speaking up. My career is a continual conflict at the moment. It's stressful. Edit: Thanks everyone. I was fired last summer and have now been in my latest job for 6 months, moving from the public to the private sector.
I just lost my job for being honest and doing my job as requested, find the problems, lmk. Then they all banded together and set me up to get me out. But I can find another job, I ain't changing me
... psychopaths are sociopathetic psychic emotional vampires, and, like moths are attracted to light, or, iron fileings are attracted to a magnet, they have an instinctive-intuitve and mysterious way of just knowing.

People say to me that I'm strong, that I'm blunt, that I take no prisoners. They say people are intimidated by me. I am a tender hearted, empathetic person ... and I tell the truth. Telling the truth won't win you a flock of friends, but it'll win you the right ones.
@madwtube lying is a strategy that some people employ. But it's an infected strategy and in the end will not serve them or the world well. Truth is the only pathway to an authentic life.
@madwtube I guess that all depends on how one defines "getting ahead." My ex was a womanizing sociopath, and is a multimillionaire. But when it comes to true quality of life I'm far richer that he is.
@madwtube ... not quite "there" yet, people... but, imagine... THIS WORLD, FULL of genuine and ready assistance, helping each other to BE the very best at what we are ULTIMATELY CAPABLE OF BECOMMING !!! That, is my most fervent, and deeply heartfelt wish, and desire... why, (i)...

To speak the truth is to be hated, mocked, and even alienated, but everyone knows where you stand and you will exhibit a more assertive and respectful demeanor that will intimidate others. In a way, some people will respect it, but realize also, most people don’t like fake people.
I started following this advice very seriously at the end of last year and my life has improved in ways I did not think possible. One of the greatest reliefs is not having to keep up with all the lies I tell. I can interact with everyone easily and without worry because I do not have to constantly remember what I told them that was not true. It is still hard because there are always situations where telling a lie is so easy in the moment. I now know exactly what he means when he says what do you really know about the truth. So many say they only want the truth or call themselves truth seekers but what they really want is comfort and to blend in with popular group think. I would be lying if I said I never fall into that category as well.
This particular quote has been lingering in my mind ever since my nervous breakdown, approximately, last Thursday. The axiom: "…Tell the truth. If you act in truth, then the order you produce is good regardless of how it happens." was the main mantra that got me through, although I miss-remembered it as "If you speak the truth, then the potential that's transformed is good." But I like the other one more.
I have a masters in engineering and decided to quit engineering as a career, I was miserable and very depressed. I am much happier now working in sales. But my parents still think that I will to back to engineering. It breaks my heart that they put so much effort to put me through school and I cant bring myself to tell them the truth.
Forget about honesty in the dating market, at work or anywhere... Even your own family prefers telling you sweet little lies because in their eyes we are fragile. And when you talk back it's mostly "how dare you talking to your mother/father like that". Wherever I go prefer not saying anything at all. Absolute impartiality and stoicism are the only ways to get by in today's society.
In my experience telling the truth completely changes the landscape of your life. One conscious choice to not lie will weed out all fallacy and delusion you have about yourself. You will gain a better radar for when you have the inclination to lie to yourself or try to rationalize something so you don’t feel bad. It’s addicting because of the confidence you get but it also has a way of isolating you. Liars or people who lie to themselves will hate you and misunderstand you. It’s freeing but a lonely path to take.
Today I heard my 12 year son lieing to me that he hit a six of a particular cricket bat ..later I checked that bat and found that he had broken it a month back and has not used it since then.. Felt fooled I went straight to school and brought him back from school.. He was afraid as it was new bat.. I told him to face the situation upfront rather than avoiding the situation
Telling the truth is not just extreme pleasure. Telling the truth is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven. When you realize that, it's so good, it's infinitely good. It's not just good. It's good to the infinite degree. It's so much goodness that you can't contain it. your body can't hold it. Your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss. It's perfection. It's total peace. It's absolute love, that's truly telling the truth.
Let me give you a scenario, a serial killer with an ak-47 is at your school and asks you "where the kids at" when you know exactly where there at. Do you still tell the truth or do you lie?
@@Spider-ho6xp Enlightenment is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground. So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.
Everybody lies including you. The truth is we lie to our selves the most. We lie to protect others feelings. We lie to protect. Sometimes we tell people that the food they cooked was good when it wasn’t. We lie to hide and insecurities because nobody is free of them. Without lies our whole society would crumble. The only difference is what the purpose of her lie is. Is it for good or evil or neutrality?
I just posted a video on this topic- why telling small lies kills your soul. Haha but seriously it does! You can really form your identity by telling the truth on a daily basis. It’s a really deep and profound concept that changes your life in more ways than you could predict before you start doing it. God bless you all 😊
Truthfull speech is for sure essential for a balanced sense of well being and is good for the long run. Here are some questions though on the pursuit of being truthful. How do you time telling the truth? Wouldnt telling the truth to those who are not ready be cruel? What if your depth of articulation and sense of objective truth is a bit higher than the average observer? How do you control telling the truth when communicating with others that are not in your level of observation? It seems to me and i may be wrong and would love to know where i am wrong, that telling the truth can be like performing surgery of your thoughts and perhaps of others perception and ideas or can be like administering a strong medicine. How do you know when and where is percisely appropriate to tell the truth and when to withhold it ?
WHY not? I believe and I believe the other side too: people who keep you from truth are not worthy of your trust. People who lie and manipulate are not the ones who should make the rules. Nobody can trust them to be fair. The opposite: you can trust your judgment that these people are unworthy of the position to make any rules. They can't even act accordingly to rules, why should they make it?
I told my the truth to my ex. Who was still my friend even after our break up that i lost our pet cat today. She totally hates me now. But my lie was eating me inside. I dont know if telling the truth makes me less of a bad person but i really hope i can be forgiven..
but you shouldn't feel bad for being honest, she purposly made you feel like your the bad person for telling the truth, even though she knows back in her mind that she's the problem. Nobody had to tell her that before and that's why she hates you. You did well dont worry
I lie alot and make up lies about me that for me is a way to stop people from getting close to me, because I believe I wasn't special and that I would be judged on my true self, so I cover it up with lies. And one day I got a girlfriend, and I lied about things that I regret, and she really opened my eyes about it, but it became so much of a habit that I do it subconsciously..and it resulted in her walking away from me. And I've devoted myself to change for the better.. I'm just struggling how...
His analysis is deep and it's easy to get tangled up. I'd say in daily life we know well what things we can let go of and what things are big lies we built our life on and will drag us down. If someone asks: do you like my new hair? And they look bad, you can choose not to say something you don't mean, of course phrasing it in a way the person knows you don't mean to insult them, so honoring the relationship without lying about what you think. If you lie, you don't trust that person. You feel like you are more worthy if you're not a people pleaser, everybody knows that. And people will see you stand your ground, because you're not so weak that you need to make sure no one is upset with you to keep yourself safe, you know you shouldn't be afraid. Another thing (and our conscience speaks loudly about that) is lying about what you think is injust. So much evil happens because a few guys are nuts and many more around them JUST LET THEM be horrible, without consequences. We all know that. But in our daily life, we think meh, what's the big deal if my boss or my parent or my partner mistreats me? Am I supposed to demand every little thing goes exactly as I want? I'd be arguing all day! And that's true, because it's hard to manage yourself around people anytime in life. What you can do is be calmly honest. If you choose to let go of something, it's your choice because you know it's no big deal. If you choose to stand up and refuse something, and you make sure to articulate your position to others, that's also your choice. Whatever you do, don't do it because others push you. Do it because you want to. I did it through the hardest years in my life when all certainties were gone and I believed it kept me sane and also kept shame and self hate at bay. I fought with it and I felt I was losing, but in the end it didn't win, because I never betrayed myself.

I've held my ground to tell the truth, even if it hurts, for a few years now. I've done it in a way that is reasonable and not obtuse. In a way with good intent. I've stood up to my father for belittling my nephew for his depression. To my brother for constantly calling his kids stupid to thier face and 90% of his interaction them is him yelling at them. My sister for yelling at me for sticking up for myself to her friend (in a violent way...I pushed him and had some words. Only reason I didn't hurt him was because he was her friend) My family sees me in a nasty light because I have a "problem" with everybody.(no, everybody has problems only I'm the one to point them out) They think I think I'm better than everybody else and am a know it all because I read books and recite from them. Doing this has caused me nothing but pain and objectification. I have been ostracized for sticking up for the weak and staying true to my values multiple times now.. This is the second and last time now I get banished from the family circle. I've seen the "light" and it is good. Just not for me. Still, I won't stop. After doing it for so long and seeing how profound it is, even after what it's cost me, I can't. It's too important to let die.
I choose to live like this. Telling The truth, be transparant even If it shows something bad about me or weakness or embarrasing. Because I consider it for The greater good and to be as good, up right, virtue, honarable, right forward morally convinced man. And pay The price. The price of not Hiding. It may cost but what is the price of lying, hiding, dont speak what you want and need and no will to sacrifice?
What about if a woman's boyfriend feeds her a pot brownie, then she freaks out, and in retrospect her telling the story: She says (with conviction) that she would have rathered her boyfriend lied and said everything was going to be okay but instead he said the truth which is that the trip was only going to get worse before it got better? Do people (especially women looking for reassurance during a painful time) really want the truth all the time?
By lying to her, he'd be weakening her trust in him, which would probably cause harm to the relationship in the long run. The momentary pain she suffered from him telling the truth won't cause irreparable harm to her and it's not worth corrupting the trust in the relationship.
Women appreciate honesty in the long run, the relationship may be tainted or even end. Woman have innate sense of people’s intentions and if you attempt to justify or rationalize your faults you appear weak. You must never be afraid of the truth even if you are in the wrong.
@madwtube I think you have to contrast everything with morality. "Lying" to your children about Santa Claus most would regard as an extended white lie. Those are the kinds of lies that people tell in service of good, it's an exercise of faith that's not too abstract for kids... Act in X manner, reap Y reward down the road. That's the intention at least, as far as I understand it. Then there are lies that are in short-term service of you but that distorts reality in a way that is so abstract that is literally impossible to measure how it affects the world negatively. Works pretty much like wether forecast, we can't predict more than 1,5-2 weeks into the future because it becomes too chaotic BUT it's not like the wether isn't going to be around in 1 month. It's the same with lies. Then there are anti-truths that are powerful, deceitful, maximally sinister lies with the goal of causing more chaos and mayhem. These lies usually have immediate consequences or consequences that you can strongly link back to its origin because of its severity.
@madwtube you say that now, but if you had the insight I had you would be a little more empathetic to me thoughts. The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.
I thought I did the right thing by telling my spouse the honest truth but he had still stuck with what he believed was the truth. It sucks that we had to split up because I didn't want to admit to something I know I didn't do. I refused to do that
Yeah I started doing that a couple of days ago…and I’m kinda scared and hope I’m not following an ideology blindly. But, I know I felt absolutely miserable at my last workplace for not telling the truth most of the time, and the other day I started texting some old friends with how I really feel about them and there’s been some violent conflicts, but also some closure and I feel a bit more…authentic? Yeah, like I’m not buried under the fakeness so much anymore… It is difficult and it feels heroic and it upsets it surprises people but it feels worthwhile. We’ll see how it goes.
on the contrary, i have taught my son how corrupt the world is from day one. Hes alot more prepared to face it at 6 years old than i was at 18 and i am grateful for that.
i lied so fuckin hard.. and i regret rn, i'm so desperate... i'm working really hard to get better, but how can i say the truth now, i'm not where i want to be yet, i cant say the truth for now, i really hope... omygash
There is something that I find really problematic in implementing this: how do you decide what is the truth that you speak? In experience, even when asking a simple question, you always have to weigh in: the interest and the intention of the person asking, your intention, your goals, the factual details, the effect you'll have on the other person (you can be brutal or you can be careful and considerate - the way you present truth will be heavily influenced by this). Dr. Peterson will say this instead, probably for similar reasons: don't lie. But this is exactly the same as saying "tell the truth", if you never lie and you speak, it means that you somehow manage to say the truth. So how do you know?
We should tell the truth, it's always, always easier in the long run. We can design our life, and following the truth within us is one worthy path! "Burning" parts of who we are is easier than staying sick as a whole in suffering! In our latest video, we exemplified what happens to "Neil" when he ignores the truth, do cast a glance if you find the time. PS: Thank you Mr. Peterson, you've changed so many lives for the better
I think we conflate the idea of "Truth" with sincerity. Truth and truth are complex philosophical questions. Sincerity is the thing I think he's talking about. A lie is the purposeful misrepresentation of information in order to manipulate another's perception of reality so that they will behave in the ways you prefer for your agenda. You are effectively diverting people from the perceptions they have a right to entertain if they are to exercise self-determination. You are removing someone else's freedom to live in reality when you lie. and that is a really hugely evil thing to do to someone.

How can I learn to tolerate dishonest people who are trying to shield me or them selves ? They don’t want to be dishonest - they don’t know any other way to cover guilt or whatever it is . I end up hating people who are supposed to be decent friends. I don’t lie. I assume everyone’s intelligent and would see through this crap so I don’t fish it out - they don’t- but sadly I do
One question I have is what do you do when you are in a situation in which the unbearable chaos brought forth from spinning a lie is more desirable than the outcome of telling a hard truth?
What might happens if you tell the truth will never be as bad as if you not.. Trust me. Free yourself, get over your fears. And do what you know is better for you and your people. God bless you
... Dear, Art... the truth, is, what IS! Not the labeling, naming, categorizations that we asign to everything. And, IT is, simultaniously, THE easiest, and THE most perplexing question, ever! All religions and philosophies are bassed on IT. IT is our ego, that can "give" or bring to us that sense of "one-ness" and affinity with the singularity of everything that creation is. But that scense of "self", has a tendency to isolate and seperate us out from the social pool, beginning with the family, then our friends and peers. But, that sense of "I", will attempt to dominate and rule, at every turn. It's what we've been advised to get a handle on and put asside, so that the thinking mind and the physical body, is religated to the co-pilot position, which allows the "heart" to come foward and guide us in the propper direction fo a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Remember that Tears For Fears song, Everybody Wants To Rule The World? That tells IT, like IT IS. Human beings are in love with illusion, delusional fantasies, faerie stories, and anything, other than a lonesome reality. It needs time and patience and much pondering or meditation. And, some life experiance, for us to awaken to IT... For our love can only ever be equal to our humility and gratitude for the confidence and the prowess that stabilizes our LOVE... and it's why (*i*)... NOW...

@@sheyshah2848 ... that statement you've waffles out is an almost verbatum rip off of a Jack Nicholson quote from a movie. That, then was a very deep ego driven projection, and a lie.
This is a rationalisation. In the end you're basically setting yourself up as the ultimate moral arbiter, justifying acts because you believe them to be in the service of a greater good. This is ok when your choices don't involve others, but when they do you don't have a right to decide that your idea of what's right is above theirs. When you lie that's exactly what you're doing, you're choosing for someone else what's best. This is arrogant at best, manipulative and sociopathic at worst. Either way, you're robbing someone else the agency of making an informed choice
@@AeneasGemini It can be said that all choices 'involve' others as all life is inextricably linked; therefore a social conscience is required. As regards 'honesty being a relative virtue' - honesty is relative : the person in question can honestly want to help the little old lady across the road, or, can also, 'honestly' want to burn down a building - because that's how they honestly feel justified to do - hyperthetically because the owner of the building shafted everyone in the town. But just because someone honestly 'feels' something does not make their honesty something of value. As regards 'It's ok to break the rules if it creates value' : Rules can equate with laws. There are three core laws : Legal law, Moral law + the Law of Cause and Effect. If you can imagine an image of one above the other, starting at the top with legal law. Legal law is like a sieve - you can get away with stuff / laws vary from country to counrty, from time and place. If the judge and/or law decide it, a person can get away with doing what is considered against the law. One can also get snared in the sieve because of a corrupt judge. [I will spare details]. Moral law is like a finer sieve [of course legal law + moral law can swap positions] and likewise vary from culture to culture and relates somewhat to traditions and so on. For example, it is ok in some countries to have two wives, in the eyes of others it is not. The Law of Cause and Effect is like bedrock - no one escapes; not even judge or jury. Every thought word and deed has an effect. So, the murderer gets out of jail within 10 years, have they paid their dues ? Of course not. The soldier who is justified in killing another, do they not receive retribution ? Of course they do, As regards arrogance, fear is at the base of arrogance; just as separating mind from body, life from environment is delusional. There is no manipulation in my comments, it is a question of choice based on the Universal Law of Life - that of Cause and Effect. The bottom line is that we all have to take responsibility for our choices - thoughts, words and actions - the all 'go through', as it were, these three laws and certainly can't escape the universal law/s. So, I am not necessarily judging, Life is 'judging' - by the effects it expresses; for want of a better word. Ultimately people perceive things from their lifestate, or life condition.
What if saying the truth could kill someone (them self or others)? This is my big dilemma, but I know saying the truth is important for your own conscience and relationship with others.
Well then you don't lie for your own profit, you lie to save something that matters, a human life. So it ain't even a dilemma, the problem with lying is not lying but that most of the time it is destructive and chaotic. Saving a human life with lying is one a the rare case where lying isn't destructive in my opinion but I may be wrong
A man is measured by how much truth he can take. No matter what happens, you never compromise your own integrity, people will hate you but they know where you stand and will respect you or be intimidated by you. If you can’t bare being blunt use some tact.

My step-father, a man which word values as 14k gold says that. She would surely die by anger and who knows what else. I'd like to know what Dr. Peterson would say about my case.
If truth is important (it is), we should demand honest institutions. The market is an institution. We allow it to be skewed toward more harm to the environment (faster depletion of resources, more pollution, more destruction of habitat) through the pernicious effect of economic externalities. "Externalities" is academic-speak for dishonest prices. A fee attached to any putting of pollution by industry or any output of products that, when used in a normal way, cause pollution, and a fee charged proportional to how much is taken from natural resource wealth, would create an incentive for all industries and all people to try to reduce their impacts on the environment. Markets will be more honest when they show a measure of how much harm is done to the environment. Honest markets will promote a sustainable society. People who grow up in an UN-sustainable society are psychologically inclined to not feel an expectation for a brighter future, particularly when there's an absence of any discussion for how to correct the systemic defect(s) that make the society unsustainable. A society that neglects the primary value of truth in relation to the market system cannot be healthy long term. A society that neglects truth has now created an opening for a demagogue. This society created people more susceptible to fear-mongering BECAUSE it has offered a bleak future to youth. (Our unsustainable path inevitably combines with extreme poverty / disparity if we fail to share natural wealth for a double-whammy trigger for insecurity. Fear- and hate-mongering can be popular when people are in a precarious economic condition. Where natural wealth is not shared, that condition will be endemic. More at some times than at others. This problem is eliminated in a society that fully respects public (shared) property rights. Society will be less prone to being swept up in a populist wave that crashes hard if we respect rights of the people to set limits to various kinds of impact on the environment, ... when we extend respect for the value of truth to the economic system, ... when we manifest in reality the idea that we all have a right to benefit from natural wealth.

depends on what you mean, if you mean you have to lie to a gunman in order for them not to shoot you then sure. If by 'survive' you mean lying to people because you're a con artist and you need to make cash, that's called a rationalisation, and it's total bullshit

TO tell the truth ! On June the 13th , 2020 i was arrested on a charge of DWI . When i arrived at the police station i was placed in a holding cell for about ten minutes , a police officer called the jailer opened the door and told me to walk down the hall and turn to my right . As i entered the room i saw two other police officers , the Sargent said to me , you can make two phone calls after you are booked . As i was removing my wallet and keys i saw the arresting officer Walk in to the room , i said to him , Hey , Do you have any powder that i can put on my neck ? The arresting officer looked at me and said , where do you think you're at ? I said your mother's house . He walked in front of me and said again , where do you think you're at ? I looked at him real hard and said , your mother's house ! We'll he lost it and began assaulting me , the two other police officers ran over and pulled the arresting officer off of me . The Sargent said , what happened ? The arresting officer said that i attacked him and that he was trying to restrain me , but i was resisting him . Our eyes met , and i said to him , you have just Tarnished the badge and the oath you swoar to up hold . The arresting officer looked at the Sargent and said that he had lied , the Sargent looked at me and said what happened ?
Lying is the new black. How many people doesn't make their living by lying: Priests, politicians, marketing people, journalists, corporate leaders etc. When I was a kid, lying was the worst you could do. If you did something, that you knew you weren't allowed to, the parents/grown ups would get mad. But if you LIED about it, they would get really pissed!

Followed Peterson since 2016. Defended him countless times, to the point it got me in trouble. I learned a lot, and his self-authoring program had profound effects for me and those I educate & coach. However, it seems that with the success Peterson has had. ''Telling the truth'' became less and less important. Refusing to acknowledge climate change = man-made and ignoring its realities. That isn't truthful, and it isn't factually accurate. And as the left/centrist Christian Party leader here in The Netherlands said. ''We don't believe that God won't protect us from Climate Change, but we do believe that it is our duty to take care and nurture what he created for us''.

Because as far as I can tell, it's always the same riddle with climate change deniers, a lot of vague stuff from the 60/70/80's that is hard to check, a lot of conspiracy stuff, but zero proof. I would love it if you were right, but nothing points to that being the case, at all.
@David Goldsmith Sure, some conspiracies are true. Operation paperclip, Roswell, weather manipulation in Vietnam. Or here in The Netherlands. Oil company Shell burying science of CO2 effects on climate. Or The Bilderberg group, which was founded by the Dutch royal family. That doesn't mean all conspiracy theories are therefore correct. It also doesn't mean that current climate science is fake or a giant conspiracy. Science doesn't prove anything, it just reduces uncertainty. The tools and methods to measure the climate are constantly becoming better and more advanced. Your response is accusing me that I'm not saying anything substantive. But meanwhile, you are not providing any proof whatsoever backing up your claims.
Objective Truth is true regardless of whether or not someone believes it. For example, mathematics is objectively true, for example if you only put 2 apples and 2 apples into an empty basket, it will always add up to 4 apples. Even if you or I insist it really 3 apples, the reality is that it’s 4 apples. Reality = things as they actually are = objective Truth = Christ
Because you have to start somewhere. They will understand. Maybe they align training. If not, they may be discriminating... either way what do you have to lose by trying? Not lying... trying. You can do it... Honesty will help you sleep well at night.

I started following this idea seriously for the past year and it has opened my eyes that my friend of 9 years turned out to be a sociopath...
... psychopaths are sociopathetic psychic emotional vampires, and, like moths are attracted to light, or, iron fileings are attracted to a magnet, they have an instinctive-intuitve and mysterious way of just knowing. And, it's a very big deal and a huge learning curve for empathetic intuitives to incorporate, understand, and learn to deal with...

Thank you Dr. Peterson. Your great teachings and advice have made the greatest effects in my life and the lives of countless others.
To speak the truth is to be hated, mocked, and even alienated, but everyone knows where you stand and you will exhibit a more assertive and respectful demeanor that will intimidate others. In a way, some people will respect it, but realize also, most people don’t like fake people.
I find telling the truth is brave and loving.
I started following this advice very seriously at the end of last year and my life has improved in ways I did not think possible. One of the greatest reliefs is not having to keep up with all the lies I tell. I can interact with everyone easily and without worry because I do not have to constantly remember what I told them that was not true. It is still hard because there are always situations where telling a lie is so easy in the moment. I now know exactly what he means when he says what do you really know about the truth. So many say they only want the truth or call themselves truth seekers but what they really want is comfort and to blend in with popular group think. I would be lying if I said I never fall into that category as well.

or maybe they just want to get a job that they need to survive🤷♂
An oracle, a legend. Your works are life changing. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
Words Cannot begin to describe the thanks for the Wisdom this man portrays.
This particular quote has been lingering in my mind ever since my nervous breakdown, approximately, last Thursday. The axiom: "…Tell the truth. If you act in truth, then the order you produce is good regardless of how it happens." was the main mantra that got me through, although I miss-remembered it as "If you speak the truth, then the potential that's transformed is good." But I like the other one more.
Re: the mental breakdown. Are you doing OK now?
I have a masters in engineering and decided to quit engineering as a career, I was miserable and very depressed. I am much happier now working in sales. But my parents still think that I will to back to engineering. It breaks my heart that they put so much effort to put me through school and I cant bring myself to tell them the truth.
If parents don't tell the truth, and are shameless about it, children will lie.

Forget about honesty in the dating market, at work or anywhere... Even your own family prefers telling you sweet little lies because in their eyes we are fragile. And when you talk back it's mostly "how dare you talking to your mother/father like that".
Wherever I go prefer not saying anything at all. Absolute impartiality and stoicism are the only ways to get by in today's society.
In my experience telling the truth completely changes the landscape of your life. One conscious choice to not lie will weed out all fallacy and delusion you have about yourself. You will gain a better radar for when you have the inclination to lie to yourself or try to rationalize something so you don’t feel bad. It’s addicting because of the confidence you get but it also has a way of isolating you. Liars or people who lie to themselves will hate you and misunderstand you. It’s freeing but a lonely path to take.
hardest part for me is now seeing everyone around me constantly lie to me and themselves. its painful.
Today I heard my 12 year son lieing to me that he hit a six of a particular cricket bat ..later I checked that bat and found that he had broken it a month back and has not used it since then.. Felt fooled I went straight to school and brought him back from school.. He was afraid as it was new bat.. I told him to face the situation upfront rather than avoiding the situation
Telling the truth is not just extreme pleasure. Telling the truth is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven. When you realize that, it's so good, it's infinitely good. It's not just good. It's good to the infinite degree. It's so much goodness that you can't contain it. your body can't hold it. Your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss. It's perfection. It's total peace. It's absolute love, that's truly telling the truth.

@@Spider-ho6xp Enlightenment is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground.
So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.
Everybody lies including you. The truth is we lie to our selves the most. We lie to protect others feelings. We lie to protect. Sometimes we tell people that the food they cooked was good when it wasn’t. We lie to hide and insecurities because nobody is free of them. Without lies our whole society would crumble. The only difference is what the purpose of her lie is. Is it for good or evil or neutrality?
Thank you.
I just posted a video on this topic- why telling small lies kills your soul. Haha but seriously it does! You can really form your identity by telling the truth on a daily basis. It’s a really deep and profound concept that changes your life in more ways than you could predict before you start doing it. God bless you all 😊
Truthfull speech is for sure essential for a balanced sense of well being and is good for the long run. Here are some questions though on the pursuit of being truthful. How do you time telling the truth? Wouldnt telling the truth to those who are not ready be cruel? What if your depth of articulation and sense of objective truth is a bit higher than the average observer? How do you control telling the truth when communicating with others that are not in your level of observation? It seems to me and i may be wrong and would love to know where i am wrong, that telling the truth can be like performing surgery of your thoughts and perhaps of others perception and ideas or can be like administering a strong medicine. How do you know when and where is percisely appropriate to tell the truth and when to withhold it ?
"The truth is the cornerstone of society"
"You can trust people who blush"
WHY not? I believe and I believe the other side too: people who keep you from truth are not worthy of your trust. People who lie and manipulate are not the ones who should make the rules. Nobody can trust them to be fair. The opposite: you can trust your judgment that these people are unworthy of the position to make any rules. They can't even act accordingly to rules, why should they make it?
I told my the truth to my ex. Who was still my friend even after our break up that i lost our pet cat today. She totally hates me now. But my lie was eating me inside. I dont know if telling the truth makes me less of a bad person but i really hope i can be forgiven..
but you shouldn't feel bad for being honest, she purposly made you feel like your the bad person for telling the truth, even though she knows back in her mind that she's the problem. Nobody had to tell her that before and that's why she hates you. You did well dont worry
I lie alot and make up lies about me that for me is a way to stop people from getting close to me, because I believe I wasn't special and that I would be judged on my true self, so I cover it up with lies. And one day I got a girlfriend, and I lied about things that I regret, and she really opened my eyes about it, but it became so much of a habit that I do it subconsciously..and it resulted in her walking away from me. And I've devoted myself to change for the better.. I'm just struggling how...
His analysis is deep and it's easy to get tangled up. I'd say in daily life we know well what things we can let go of and what things are big lies we built our life on and will drag us down. If someone asks: do you like my new hair? And they look bad, you can choose not to say something you don't mean, of course phrasing it in a way the person knows you don't mean to insult them, so honoring the relationship without lying about what you think. If you lie, you don't trust that person. You feel like you are more worthy if you're not a people pleaser, everybody knows that. And people will see you stand your ground, because you're not so weak that you need to make sure no one is upset with you to keep yourself safe, you know you shouldn't be afraid. Another thing (and our conscience speaks loudly about that) is lying about what you think is injust. So much evil happens because a few guys are nuts and many more around them JUST LET THEM be horrible, without consequences. We all know that. But in our daily life, we think meh, what's the big deal if my boss or my parent or my partner mistreats me? Am I supposed to demand every little thing goes exactly as I want? I'd be arguing all day! And that's true, because it's hard to manage yourself around people anytime in life. What you can do is be calmly honest. If you choose to let go of something, it's your choice because you know it's no big deal. If you choose to stand up and refuse something, and you make sure to articulate your position to others, that's also your choice. Whatever you do, don't do it because others push you. Do it because you want to. I did it through the hardest years in my life when all certainties were gone and I believed it kept me sane and also kept shame and self hate at bay. I fought with it and I felt I was losing, but in the end it didn't win, because I never betrayed myself.
I respect you for at least being honest 🫡😂😂😂🔨

I've held my ground to tell the truth, even if it hurts, for a few years now.
I've done it in a way that is reasonable and not obtuse. In a way with good intent.
I've stood up to my father for belittling my nephew for his depression. To my brother for constantly calling his kids stupid to thier face and 90% of his interaction them is him yelling at them. My sister for yelling at me for sticking up for myself to her friend (in a violent way...I pushed him and had some words. Only reason I didn't hurt him was because he was her friend)
My family sees me in a nasty light because I have a "problem" with everybody.(no, everybody has problems only I'm the one to point them out) They think I think I'm better than everybody else and am a know it all because I read books and recite from them.
Doing this has caused me nothing but pain and objectification.
I have been ostracized for sticking up for the weak and staying true to my values multiple times now..
This is the second and last time now I get banished from the family circle.
I've seen the "light" and it is good. Just not for me.
Still, I won't stop. After doing it for so long and seeing how profound it is, even after what it's cost me, I can't. It's too important to let die.
I choose to live like this. Telling The truth, be transparant even If it shows something bad about me or weakness or embarrasing. Because I consider it for The greater good and to be as good, up right, virtue, honarable, right forward morally convinced man. And pay The price. The price of not Hiding. It may cost but what is the price of lying, hiding, dont speak what you want and need and no will to sacrifice?
What about if a woman's boyfriend feeds her a pot brownie, then she freaks out, and in retrospect her telling the story: She says (with conviction) that she would have rathered her boyfriend lied and said everything was going to be okay but instead he said the truth which is that the trip was only going to get worse before it got better? Do people (especially women looking for reassurance during a painful time) really want the truth all the time?
By lying to her, he'd be weakening her trust in him, which would probably cause harm to the relationship in the long run. The momentary pain she suffered from him telling the truth won't cause irreparable harm to her and it's not worth corrupting the trust in the relationship.
He fed her drugs without her knowledge or consent, that is already a very big betrayal. She should have a very serious talk with him/ leave him
Women appreciate honesty in the long run, the relationship may be tainted or even end. Woman have innate sense of people’s intentions and if you attempt to justify or rationalize your faults you appear weak. You must never be afraid of the truth even if you are in the wrong.
How do we know being honest all the time is a good thing?
if you don't lie - you will never have to remember what you said ??
If you act in truth, then the order you produce is good, regardless of how it appears.
@madwtube I think you have to contrast everything with morality.
"Lying" to your children about Santa Claus most would regard as an extended white lie. Those are the kinds of lies that people tell in service of good, it's an exercise of faith that's not too abstract for kids... Act in X manner, reap Y reward down the road. That's the intention at least, as far as I understand it.
Then there are lies that are in short-term service of you but that distorts reality in a way that is so abstract that is literally impossible to measure how it affects the world negatively. Works pretty much like wether forecast, we can't predict more than 1,5-2 weeks into the future because it becomes too chaotic BUT it's not like the wether isn't going to be around in 1 month. It's the same with lies.
Then there are anti-truths that are powerful, deceitful, maximally sinister lies with the goal of causing more chaos and mayhem. These lies usually have immediate consequences or consequences that you can strongly link back to its origin because of its severity.
@madwtube you say that now, but if you had the insight I had you would be a little more empathetic to me thoughts. The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.
@madwtube you don't even understand what I'm writing lol. No point arguing with someone who doesn't want to understand
I thought I did the right thing by telling my spouse the honest truth but he had still stuck with what he believed was the truth.
It sucks that we had to split up because I didn't want to admit to something I know I didn't do. I refused to do that
Yeah I started doing that a couple of days ago…and I’m kinda scared and hope I’m not following an ideology blindly. But, I know I felt absolutely miserable at my last workplace for not telling the truth most of the time, and the other day I started texting some old friends with how I really feel about them and there’s been some violent conflicts, but also some closure and I feel a bit more…authentic? Yeah, like I’m not buried under the fakeness so much anymore… It is difficult and it feels heroic and it upsets it surprises people but it feels worthwhile. We’ll see how it goes.

One step at a time, one day at a time, just keep going. Keep doing your best. Be honest even tho it’s scary. You got this.
There is something that I find really problematic in implementing this: how do you decide what is the truth that you speak? In experience, even when asking a simple question, you always have to weigh in: the interest and the intention of the person asking, your intention, your goals, the factual details, the effect you'll have on the other person (you can be brutal or you can be careful and considerate - the way you present truth will be heavily influenced by this). Dr. Peterson will say this instead, probably for similar reasons: don't lie. But this is exactly the same as saying "tell the truth", if you never lie and you speak, it means that you somehow manage to say the truth. So how do you know?
We should tell the truth, it's always, always easier in the long run. We can design our life, and following the truth within us is one worthy path! "Burning" parts of who we are is easier than staying sick as a whole in suffering! In our latest video, we exemplified what happens to "Neil" when he ignores the truth, do cast a glance if you find the time.
PS: Thank you Mr. Peterson, you've changed so many lives for the better
I think we conflate the idea of "Truth" with sincerity. Truth and truth are complex philosophical questions. Sincerity is the thing I think he's talking about. A lie is the purposeful misrepresentation of information in order to manipulate another's perception of reality so that they will behave in the ways you prefer for your agenda. You are effectively diverting people from the perceptions they have a right to entertain if they are to exercise self-determination. You are removing someone else's freedom to live in reality when you lie. and that is a really hugely evil thing to do to someone.
I wish I could talk to him one on one today
Thank you Just thank you

How can I learn to tolerate dishonest people who are trying to shield me or them selves ? They don’t want to be dishonest - they don’t know any other way to cover guilt or whatever it is .

I honestly tell the truth to hurt ppl feelings
One question I have is what do you do when you are in a situation in which the unbearable chaos brought forth from spinning a lie is more desirable than the outcome of telling a hard truth?
What might happens if you tell the truth will never be as bad as if you not.. Trust me. Free yourself, get over your fears. And do what you know is better for you and your people. God bless you
Tell, what you think is, the truth.
... Dear, Art... the truth, is, what IS! Not the labeling, naming, categorizations that we asign to everything. And, IT is, simultaniously, THE easiest, and THE most perplexing question, ever! All religions and philosophies are bassed on IT. IT is our ego, that can "give" or bring to us that sense of "one-ness" and affinity with the singularity of everything that creation is. But that scense of "self", has a tendency to isolate and seperate us out from the social pool, beginning with the family, then our friends and peers. But, that sense of "I", will attempt to dominate and rule, at every turn. It's what we've been advised to get a handle on and put asside, so that the thinking mind and the physical body, is religated to the co-pilot position, which allows the "heart" to come foward and guide us in the propper direction fo a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Remember that Tears For Fears song, Everybody Wants To Rule The World? That tells IT, like IT IS. Human beings are in love with illusion, delusional fantasies, faerie stories, and anything, other than a lonesome reality. It needs time and patience and much pondering or meditation. And, some life experiance, for us to awaken to IT...
For our love can only ever be equal to our humility and gratitude for the confidence and the prowess that stabilizes our LOVE... and it's why (*i*)... NOW...

'Honesty is a relative virtue' + 'It's ok to break the rules if it creates value' (some thoughts)
This is a rationalisation. In the end you're basically setting yourself up as the ultimate moral arbiter, justifying acts because you believe them to be in the service of a greater good.
This is ok when your choices don't involve others, but when they do you don't have a right to decide that your idea of what's right is above theirs. When you lie that's exactly what you're doing, you're choosing for someone else what's best.
This is arrogant at best, manipulative and sociopathic at worst. Either way, you're robbing someone else the agency of making an informed choice
@@AeneasGemini It can be said that all choices 'involve' others as all life is inextricably linked; therefore a social conscience is required. As regards 'honesty being a relative virtue' - honesty is relative : the person in question can honestly want to help the little old lady across the road, or, can also, 'honestly' want to burn down a building - because that's how they honestly feel justified to do - hyperthetically because the owner of the building shafted everyone in the town. But just because someone honestly 'feels' something does not make their honesty something of value. As regards 'It's ok to break the rules if it creates value' : Rules can equate with laws. There are three core laws : Legal law, Moral law + the Law of Cause and Effect. If you can imagine an image of one above the other, starting at the top with legal law. Legal law is like a sieve - you can get away with stuff / laws vary from country to counrty, from time and place. If the judge and/or law decide it, a person can get away with doing what is considered against the law. One can also get snared in the sieve because of a corrupt judge. [I will spare details]. Moral law is like a finer sieve [of course legal law + moral law can swap positions] and likewise vary from culture to culture and relates somewhat to traditions and so on. For example, it is ok in some countries to have two wives, in the eyes of others it is not. The Law of Cause and Effect is like bedrock - no one escapes; not even judge or jury. Every thought word and deed has an effect. So, the murderer gets out of jail within 10 years, have they paid their dues ? Of course not. The soldier who is justified in killing another, do they not receive retribution ? Of course they do, As regards arrogance, fear is at the base of arrogance; just as separating mind from body, life from environment is delusional. There is no manipulation in my comments, it is a question of choice based on the Universal Law of Life - that of Cause and Effect. The bottom line is that we all have to take responsibility for our choices - thoughts, words and actions - the all 'go through', as it were, these three laws and certainly can't escape the universal law/s. So, I am not necessarily judging, Life is 'judging' - by the effects it expresses; for want of a better word. Ultimately people perceive things from their lifestate, or life condition.
What if saying the truth could kill someone (them self or others)? This is my big dilemma, but I know saying the truth is important for your own conscience and relationship with others.
Well then you don't lie for your own profit, you lie to save something that matters, a human life. So it ain't even a dilemma, the problem with lying is not lying but that most of the time it is destructive and chaotic. Saving a human life with lying is one a the rare case where lying isn't destructive in my opinion but I may be wrong
name one situation that telling the truth would kill

Tell the truth
If truth is important (it is), we should demand honest institutions.
The market is an institution. We allow it to be skewed toward more harm to the environment (faster depletion of resources, more pollution, more destruction of habitat) through the pernicious effect of economic externalities. "Externalities" is academic-speak for dishonest prices.
A fee attached to any putting of pollution by industry or any output of products that, when used in a normal way, cause pollution, and a fee charged proportional to how much is taken from natural resource wealth, would create an incentive for all industries and all people to try to reduce their impacts on the environment.
Markets will be more honest when they show a measure of how much harm is done to the environment.
Honest markets will promote a sustainable society.
People who grow up in an UN-sustainable society are psychologically inclined to not feel an expectation for a brighter future, particularly when there's an absence of any discussion for how to correct the systemic defect(s) that make the society unsustainable.
A society that neglects the primary value of truth in relation to the market system cannot be healthy long term. A society that neglects truth has now created an opening for a demagogue. This society created people more susceptible to fear-mongering BECAUSE it has offered a bleak future to youth. (Our unsustainable path inevitably combines with extreme poverty / disparity if we fail to share natural wealth for a double-whammy trigger for insecurity. Fear- and hate-mongering can be popular when people are in a precarious economic condition. Where natural wealth is not shared, that condition will be endemic. More at some times than at others.
This problem is eliminated in a society that fully respects public (shared) property rights.
Society will be less prone to being swept up in a populist wave that crashes hard if we respect rights of the people to set limits to various kinds of impact on the environment,
... when we extend respect for the value of truth to the economic system,
... when we manifest in reality the idea that we all have a right to benefit from natural wealth.

Anybody know which video/short about Jordan Peterson and the truth, is Jordan stating what the definition of truth actually is compared to a modern person's false definition of what truth is; which is a set of facts?
There is a culture at my college. The prof. just won't write Lor's for the students. They ask them to bring a template or essay. They will sign it and that's that. Now, it's my turn to go through this. I consider this a form of deception, and I'm super uncomfortable with that. Trying to see how I can tackle this problem. U know of any solutions?
I had decided not to lie 2 yrs back, after going through a lot of JBP content online. Will I not be able to go for a master's if remain stubborn about not lying? Should I give up my ambition for a master's degree to avoid lying? Or should I give up not lying? 😬idk how to tackle this.
( PS: I posted this on a couple of videos to increase the prob. of getting a good solution)

Check out Sam Harris…he has some advice on telling uncomfortable truths?
I'm pretty sure that living out "my truth" would get an angry mob after me. is that good?
You live *the* truth (objective Truth)
@@stevepinto5587 well the things I think are objective truth, everyone else seems to hate. if I say that I deserve to be loved in spite of my past, people will be disgusted and hate me.
Look past the 'many truths' - and there you will find one (1) 'stark reality'
0:41 (if you act in truth then the order that you produce is good regardless of how it appears. Extracting order from chaos is only done in truth. God only speaks truth and from His Word comes creation/life/reality/truth)
2:46 (acting as if you believe something is the same as believing something, it’s not what you say (or who you are deep inside) that defines who you are or what you believe but what you do that defines who you truly are and what you truly believe)
I totally understand what Jordan is saying and I support it, but it reminded me of the movie Inglorious bastards when the Nazi asks the Frenchman if he is hiding Jews in his house. What to do at that moment? Tell the truth or lie?
👊
But what if you have to lie in order to survive?
depends on what you mean, if you mean you have to lie to a gunman in order for them not to shoot you then sure. If by 'survive' you mean lying to people because you're a con artist and you need to make cash, that's called a rationalisation, and it's total bullshit
@@AeneasGemini I do mean something along those lines of lying not to be shot, but at the same time there are alot of people who are con artists who lie and exaggerate things in order to get your money.
But what if you have to lie and exaggerate to get money in order to survive and have no other means?
i was thinking of tweeting the URL of this particular video to the CCP and Russia - but somehow, i don't think it would change their beliefs...
Dr. JBP needs to reformulate his argument, so that it is more coherent, or at least more convincing. i believe in the truth, in so much, as it sets the world on a straight path forward, or a straight-forward path.
TO tell the truth !
On June the 13th , 2020 i was arrested on a charge of DWI . When i arrived at the police station i was placed in a holding cell for about ten minutes , a police officer called the jailer opened the door and told me to walk down the hall and turn to my right .
As i entered the room i saw two other police officers , the Sargent said to me , you can make two phone calls after you are booked . As i was removing my wallet and keys i saw the arresting officer Walk in to the room , i said to him , Hey ,
Do you have any powder that i can put on my neck ?
The arresting officer looked at me and said , where do you think you're at ? I said your mother's house . He walked in front of me and said again , where do you think you're at ? I looked at him real hard and said , your mother's house ! We'll he lost it and began assaulting me , the two other police officers ran over and pulled the arresting officer off of me . The Sargent said , what happened ? The arresting officer said that i attacked him and that he was trying to restrain me , but i was resisting him . Our eyes met , and i said to him , you have just Tarnished the badge and the oath you swoar to up hold . The arresting officer looked at the Sargent and said that he had lied , the Sargent looked at me and said what happened ?
I f*^cking hate being lied to.
Actually telling the truth is easier than not lying
Wow the bible is real wow always tell the truth.
He must be talking about Saul Alinsky.
You can be dangerous for being honest.
Hell naw bruh there are crazy people out here in this world 🌎
Does it mean that i should tell the girl that i like her straight?
Lying is the new black. How many people doesn't make their living by lying: Priests, politicians, marketing people, journalists, corporate leaders etc. When I was a kid, lying was the worst you could do. If you did something, that you knew you weren't allowed to, the parents/grown ups would get mad. But if you LIED about it, they would get really pissed!
what is truth?
Why is it always a truth or a lie why is one way or the other
At some point in life most people are beyond that stage so the advice does not make that much of a difference

Followed Peterson since 2016. Defended him countless times, to the point it got me in trouble. I learned a lot, and his self-authoring program had profound effects for me and those I educate & coach. However, it seems that with the success Peterson has had. ''Telling the truth'' became less and less important. Refusing to acknowledge climate change = man-made and ignoring its realities. That isn't truthful, and it isn't factually accurate. And as the left/centrist Christian Party leader here in The Netherlands said. ''We don't believe that God won't protect us from Climate Change, but we do believe that it is our duty to take care and nurture what he created for us''.
If you believe climate change is anything other than a scheme to get your money you are brain dead.
@@denniswhite166 If science = all fake, sure, it might be the case. But okay, if you don't believe in science, just look at all the wildfires and heat records.
@Jerry Howe If that was true we would have global cooling right now. Since we are currently in a solar minimum.
@David Goldsmith ''That science''? What are you talking about? The proof of science is everywhere around you. Climate System Research is fairly new in its current form. *''These record numbers you speak of are not record numbers''* The burden of proof is on you in that case right? Show me how it's wrong. Because as far as I can tell, it's always the same riddle with climate change deniers, a lot of vague stuff from the 60/70/80's that is hard to check, a lot of conspiracy stuff, but zero proof. I would love it if you were right, but nothing points to that being the case, at all.
@David Goldsmith Sure, some conspiracies are true. Operation paperclip, Roswell, weather manipulation in Vietnam. Or here in The Netherlands. Oil company Shell burying science of CO2 effects on climate. Or The Bilderberg group, which was founded by the Dutch royal family.
That doesn't mean all conspiracy theories are therefore correct. It also doesn't mean that current climate science is fake or a giant conspiracy.
Science doesn't prove anything, it just reduces uncertainty. The tools and methods to measure the climate are constantly becoming better and more advanced.
Your response is accusing me that I'm not saying anything substantive. But meanwhile, you are not providing any proof whatsoever backing up your claims.

was that did you try to teach us?
Tell the truth about what you believe. About pronouns. About DNA. No mention of Duhsyetbskii needed.
what is truth by definition
Objective Truth is true regardless of whether or not someone believes it. For example, mathematics is objectively true, for example if you only put 2 apples and 2 apples into an empty basket, it will always add up to 4 apples. Even if you or I insist it really 3 apples, the reality is that it’s 4 apples. Reality = things as they actually are = objective Truth = Christ

How can you tell the truth when you don't have the qualifications that even entry level jobs want you to have?
Because you have to start somewhere. They will understand. Maybe they align training. If not, they may be discriminating... either way what do you have to lose by trying? Not lying... trying. You can do it... Honesty will help you sleep well at night.

telling the truth that trump is a conman has never been easier, right?
That’s a very leading question lol
@@lifewasgiventous1614 leading to sarcasm most certainly)
Not being able to see that Trump very well may be the antidote to establishment corruption may be an uphill cognitive exercise for those who think that Trump is satan incarnate.
Imagine a liar telling you to tell the truth.
