My social media, like most other people's, tends to read like a whodunnit. I hope in time, more people will see why it is necessary to work with, speak and accept the universal truths. It's how the cosmos works, or in the human species case, doesn't work.

Ignoring 'the truths'

The majority of us choose to ignore what is the truth. In the psychology of human behaviour and how that works, denialism is at the top. It’s a person’s choice to avoid what is their reality to avoid an uncomfortable psychological truth. There are a lot of truths out there, but we must all be open to receiving them. Telling others what you think they need, or you need to hear, doesn’t address the truth of what is happening, the issues in ‘real time.’

The CP Diary is based on 'truths'

Through my blog The CP Diary, I speak my personal truths and continue to write the ‘universal truths’ on what is happening in politics, in the world, because it helps my mental health. Running the blog with everything I write about isn't as enjoyable as it was in the early years. It's one hell of a responsibility.

Truths are good for our 'mental health'

But what I write about is necessary for my own mental health. All my blogs are based on universal truths, human predicaments, world predicaments and the universe around us. It is the reason why we all should be instrumental in accepting and working towards the universal truths.

We should all be dealing with our mental health. In the meantime, I shall continue to write, to continue to sow seeds one blog at a time. It is a big responsibility and can be somewhat daunting, but it is good for my mental health.
