Truth or Dare? That is a fun game that I tried before. I think it’ll be fun to have something like this in your blog. I will look forward to it.

I have never played truth or dare. My sisters used to dare one another to do things, though I can’t remember even one of those dares. I just hear echos of “I dare ya.” Truth is complex I think. As I was reading your post I found myself thinking that it is multifaceted; you can look at it from different angles; it has many parts. Then I found myself likening it to a rainbow.

What a thoughtful post. For me, the biggest dare of all is to look internally with enough perspective and honesty to see the truth about myself.

I love the distinction you draw between facts and truth. I think that I am pretty good about admitting to the latter, so if the game allowed me to reveal facts, I’d be okay. I’d be more nervous for sure if I had to share truths about myself – perhaps because I’m just beginning to learn them.

Oh boy, Belinda, what a challenge! I’m in, if you do it.

That being said, I’ve always been a private person and never played the game for that very reason. That is, I’ve been private until I started blogging! Who knew that THIS is where I open up so easily, and what the heck is that all about? I dunno, but it’s fun.

As for truth, someone said to me “yes, there is such a thing as absolute truth, it’s just different for everyone.” OK, I haven’t wrapped my head around that just yet. . .

I never played the game either. Wow what are we all afraid of, I think I’ll dare to say if you pose the question I’ll play. Yikes! If I don’t how can I stand behind the name of my blog!

Hi Belinda. I secretly used to love this game when it came up as it usually always involved kissing a girl (that was when I was younger, much younger). I liked your analogy of life being a game of truth or dare and I loved that you alluded to the fact that truth and dare are inextricably linked, it’s a matter of what one to start with first: truth or dare

Fascinating, Belinda. I’ve never played truth or dare. I had to go look it up since I only vaguely remembered what it was. I suppose the game itself is all about risk: is it riskier to tell the truth or take a chance on doing something unknown? And yes, I can see how you’d almost always opt to dare, since truth is so slippery (btw, love the Gide quote). I guess for me, when I apply this to life, truth helps me to dare only so much as I construct it in that moment. Because in the next moment, truth may have an altogether different meaning. Thanks for making me think about this. And yes, I will play your game. But I’m wondering, what does this altered online reality do to truth?
