I became a truth warrior in my mid twenties and agree with what you've written here. At first I lost a lot of friends because I refused to speak bull and wasn't experienced enough to keep my mouth shut. Slowly I noticed how pride set into my mind. Those years were so insightful! Years later I realized that even so I didn't verbalize bull, I was lying to myself and that there CAN be deceit in silence.
I learned that I could see bull better once I began practicing telling the Truth. Many times I was spared the consequences of people's reactions when answering a question - seemed to me that distractions would appear and save me from having to give an answer!
I spoke less and spoke more vaguely.
There were a lot of slogans that I was able to understand fully, like 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink'.
And yes, you are right, there is more responsibility as you learn these things. Isn't it enough to be an example?
These days, I speak more freely and catch myself using words like 'never' and 'always'. I stopped beating myself up over these errors decades ago and console myself that my spoken bull is unintentional (whether right or wrong). Thanks for your article!
