The Hardest Lesson?

What is the hardest lesson you've ever had to learn?
"Tacenda" is the hardest lesson I have ever had to learn, there are some things better left unsaid. 

One of the hardest things for me to do is to pass over anything I think matters in "silence".  To me, that's tantamount to lying.  That ranks right up there with keeping things, anything, "secret".  I don't like secrets, secrets are dangerous.  That's why confession in the Catholic church started out to be a good idea.  AND, smiling, that's a prime example of why this lesson is so hard for me.  Everything matter, and I can veer quickly, I leap and hop and round all the thinking bends, sometimes at such a speed I don't even realize I've hit a wall.  I keep gunning that engine . . . so sometimes some matters can be passed over in silence? I still don't believe that's real, never will.  All the lessons in my life, all the hard, harder, hardest lessons in my world . . . they all boil down to Tacenda.

    About Janet:

    Janet DeLong, PhD, is a philosophical writer.  She'd tell you that is by default, we know it's by design.  While her perceptions are not always comfortable, they are always
    intriguing.

    Why am I answering your questions?
    I'm answering, in part, because it amuses me that my response to that question could be just as cryptic:  "Maybe I'm not."  That lets me laugh.  Truth is, words really do hold power.  How language is used to communicate, all the words, phrases, sentences, intrigue me.

    It has always been a challenge to be able to communicate my truth on every single level I can think it.  I've actually accomplished that twice, in two sentences.  The best sentence I've ever written:  "pi will id."  And the truth:  "When you finally understand yourself a particle, you wave."
