Day 60

          "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts." I've heard several iterations of this thought over my life span, and I've always questioned it's validity. Would a man who lies be more prone or less prone to lie when drunk, or does it change at all. I think I've decided that a man can think and say all he wants, drunk or sober, but that it is his actions, both drunk and sober, that speak of his character. I'm not denying alcohol's ability to lower inhibitions and act as a type of liquid courage, but I am denying  that all words spoken in a drunken state are true. Actions, however, are truth in motion. The interpretations of certain actions vary, but the action took place no matter the words. This is something I feel I must contemplate more on.

Lesson:

Sometimes, even we do not know where we stand. That is when we must investigate what lies in our soul.
