Solzhenitsyn's advice: Do not participate in the spreading of lies

[icehorse]

This piece, written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, has really moved me. I know there will be calls for me to summarize it. I'm hesitant to attempt it. The piece is short, and extremely eloquent. I know I cannot do it justice.

But I suppose the summary is: Make it your practice to not participate in the spreading of lies.

Of course this is easier said than done, and I'm sure I'm error prone in this regard. But having read this piece, it's a personal goal of mine that's now front and center for me.

Good advice!

From 2019 to about 2021 on this forum, I admit that I wasn't always really sharp at explaining myself, so I'm trying to clarify myself more now. Even in cases where to accurately clarify myself, may in some cases involve saying things like, "Yeah, I can be a complicated person..." or "I'm really not the snazziest dresser in general, so don't count on it all of the time at all".

From 2019 to 2021, I was still dealing with my caffeine-induced psychosis, and may have also had some struggles to overcome in which I experienced something similar to a Learning Disorder: Caffeine-induced psychosis - Wikipedia.
