The person intends todo harm, and that makes the action disharmonious. They are using truth todisrupt peace instead of bring peace about.Not all truths lead us to peace. That's why we must be careful and haveclear intention before we choose the next rock on which to stand. Dear Brian ~ once again, you have sifted through the thoughts and the words and come up with the essence. I completely agree with you about the importance of intention. I have been on the receiving side of others who have used the truth as a kind of battering ram. They would profess their intentions were only good, yet my heart and soul felt bruised and wounded. I have felt the temptation to use truth this way to get back at those who I have felt hurt by. Yet what would be gained. I would only be shooting more arrows.
