The Truth - Maurice Streeter

I entreat you to dig deep inside of yourselves and reach up to find some of the answers you have been longing for and realize that your search has not been in vain. I have too wondered about lots of things in regards to religion, life, death, love, the pursuit of happiness, politics, communication, children, peculiar attitudes of people different than I, the true meaning of Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day, enlightenment, optimism, social order, name calling, cultural basis, self identity, my heritage, true love, work relations, 'the glass ceiling,' mis-education, education, unlearning, re-learning, learning, knowledge of self, knowledge of others, respect, degradation, tyranny, oppression, depression, stress, heartache, pain (physical/mental/emotional), good times, economics, Civil Rights, freedom, liberty, prosperity, Spirituality, angels, demons, abuse (physical/mental/emotional), jealousy/envy, lies, theft, insecurity, trust, honor, brotherhood and sisterhood, relationships, faith, deception, and most importantly the Truth. I can't honestly say that I've captured everything there is to know but I will say that I've done some of the work to reveal some of the things we've all wondered about. What make's my book different from others are the facts being presented and the way I present them to you. I have listed a few shorts from my book for your viewing, for the full version please feel free to purchase "THE TRUTH: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MAURICE STREETER."

"It has been often said that 'the truth hurts,' this is due to the fact that the truth is undeniable and irrefutable without exception. The fact of the matter is that when something is true it pierces our very mind, body, and soul with a new found knowledge giving us the right to explore new foundations in the hopes of finding answers to questions we have been longing to have addressed. 'The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,' can be something funny, sad at times, emotionally disturbing, and most of all groundbreaking and real to the core.

To communicate is divine. I strongly believe that it is the only form of life that causes most things to make sense. Think about it, if we stopped communicating with one another, could you imagine the implication of anarchy and chaos there would be? In times of misunderstandings sometimes we need to say you know what I'm not going to take the low road in this situation and be as stubborn and uncompromising as in the past. I will take the high road here and try to talk things through to hopefully find a common ground so that all parties involved will leave with feelings of being satisfied and fulfilled. It has been my over-standing that men and women often times stoop to levels of selfishness and foolish behaviors due to their unwillingness to share or open themselves up to show a side of vulnerability as a way to socially avoid being viewed as a 'punk' or to display a sign of 'weakness.' In my view, what we as a people must learn is that no matter what society deems our actions to be while concurrently degrading our demeanor with useless labels, we must rise above this sickness, unlearn if you will. In view of the fact that life is so valuable and bestows no guarantee for any of us, it is imperative that we act and react to one another's needs and give our undivided attention where applicable and show that we care, we understand, and we sympathize with each other in every situation.
