It has been said, “We’re all bad in someone’s story.” I’ll add, “Perhaps even in our own.” The solution to “badness” is to transform your story into no story and let others be the tellers of whatever they want. What they tell is not “what you are,” and what you speak is interpretive, e.g., embellished, jaded, and maybe even untrue. You cannot “tell” a lie if you are busy living a life, as living quietly in the moment is free of interpretation. That is a life that cannot be shaped by stories you or others tell. So, go live; quietly!
