You can feel truth when you land on it.
There is no judgement.
There is no defending truth. It stands on its own.
When you search for truth you don’t need to manipulate, or shame, or coerce.
All of the emotion and attachment fades away the closer you get to the truth. And once you land on it, the fear, and tears, and hurt feelings leave.
This means you can be emotionally neutral and diplomatic once you have found the truth.
When I need to have a hard conversation I wait until I have dug into the truth.
What is true about me? What is true about you? What is true about the situation?
Hard conversations are a whole lot easier when you first find the truth.
