As much as I love Mr. Churchill, he was a politician, and politicians by their own definition are liars.

My Truth = my opinion, perception, the way I see it, my point of view...
"My truth" signals that you're not going to change your stance even if presented with facts that contradict what you believe to be true.
Everyone I've heard use that term publicly lives in lala-land. Meghan Markle is an excellent example.
(I suffered through that entitled birch's stupid, utterly boring, cash-grab "home-maker" series just to please my wife; happy to say we were both relieved when it ended)

Oh, you mean like Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens (who you quoted in post 98) - the one who used a pseudonym and freely admitted to fabricating false news stories and elaborate hoaxes during his early career as a journalist?

No, I didn't know that about Clemens. Thanks, will look him up --I always thought he was a national treasure.
In any case, you quoted the better man.
EDIT
Didn't mean to insult Winston Churchill. He was a more a statesman and a soldier than a politician

Twain, Clemens, whoever - he's still a treasure. I was just mean enough to find a few surprises when looking him up - all the while, hoping that no one looks ME up.No, I didn't know that about Clemens. Thanks, will look him up --I always thought he was a national treasure.

I just meant that few of us are perfect, and that includes me. I'll admit to a traffic violation in 1987, but let's just say if anyone starts looking for more than that., they will have a lot of Macks to go through in the big state of Texas.
