I make this share for all to comment on whether a confidently balanced member of an ongoing relationship, a single person or a bitter twisted divorcee (divorcee or member of a family relationship, employment, religious fraternity or law court experience and judgement) who has weeded the truth from the lies possibly being left feeling mentally "raped" by the separation and anulment process:

"Messages that are honest tend to have higher accuracy than messages that are not honest. If a message is true, there is a better chance an individual would be able to accurately detect that it is true and not a lie."
[en.m.wikipedia.org]

Also when I share the above with you, do you believe that I honestly ask the above questions or believe the Professor's conclusion is true?

I believe we go into a conversation based on who it's with. I can only speak for myself of course. I'm going on truth when confronting a close friend or family, until I get a red flag. Co-workers, I'm hesitant to just take for word. I'm analyzing as being talked to. Outside of those circles it's a mix of both. Being it takes time to analyze the type of person I'm talking with.

Quite an interesting read.

A point you raise reminded me of the thugly living next door. I returned home yesterday lunchtime to find that the recently replaced corrugated iron fence with this neighbour was flapping in the high wind against the side of the tin shed situate in his yard. The fencing contractors did not bother to replace the wooden 6x4 upright posts or horizontal 2x4's which had largely rotted out. They installed 2 metre high corrugated iron on 4 foot upright posts only one of which had been reinforced with a 4' metal star stake. I simply asked if he had reported the issue to his landlord. He hadn't even bothered to investigate where the new noise coming from 4 metres from where he was sitting was coming from. He then accused me of having attitude and ordered me from the yard. I responded with "I do not need people like you in my life" and left.
I'm now wondering if he is just being normal for the locals or has brain acquired injury. His 23 year old sister was much more pleasant several weeks ago when I thanked her for pruning the top branches from the lemon tree that have been blocking my light along with the disgusting and probably illegal fence! She allowed me to take a bag of lemons still on the pruned branches, that otherwise they would have probably ended up as landfill.

Local regulations stipulate that fences cannot be higher than 1.5 metres within 2 meters of road frontages - technically and legally the road starts on the right hand side of the fence. The photo is taken at a height of about 2.4 metres whilst standing on the road. The land is therefore slightly higher than the road.

@FrayedBear Do you own your property, or do you rent?

@Jolanta The latter. . . And through a religious based organisaton. I think their god is Mammon an acquaintance who had to deal with them in Queensland used to refer to them as the "Scottish Jews". At the time she mentioned it 5 or more years ago I attributed such epithet to the Queensland origin. I now more incline to the Mammon suggestion.

@FrayedBear You better not tell them you are an agnostic.

@Jolanta I suspect that they already know. The parish church secretary demanded that I remove her email list from my contacts many years ago. I also think that some believe that I am responsible for their church altar sinking into the ground!

@FrayedBear You should have told them you saw Mammon doing it.

@Jolanta Nah it was that other mythical character frequently attributed to us Agnostics & Atheists - the Devil sucking the altar down to hell.
