If I speak only the truth, why do I need to justify myself?

[Bodhidharma]

   Ask yourself that, and tell me your opinion.

[BlackMaze]

First of all you might be self deceived. 

2. Who said you need to? 

3. To convince others

4. To convince yourself 

5. You are just bored

6. Because others can't understand your pov

7. To satisfy the need to be right

8. Other reasons 

[Cathal]

u need to think about right speech 

one man came to his guru and was begging for enlightenment, the guru said he needs to do 2 weeks more of fasting. 2 weeks later, he came back and the guru congratulated him and praised him for his discipline 'well done, that's incredible, you're one step closer to enlightenment'

another man came up to the guru later on that day and was starving, 'i haven't eaten in 2 weeks' the guru replied 'well done, that's incredible, you're one step closer to enlightenment'

can you see how retarded that is? what even is truth here? just do the right thing

@Bodhidharma HAHAHAHAHA

Because I was conditioned to believe that my feelings and perceptions are not the truth, and that I need to justify them with rational logic.
