What is this blog about?
There is no such thing as an expert on the topic of Life. We all have had our battles, our suffering, and our questions. Despite the uniqueness of our personal obstacles, we have endured them. We have endured them well enough to advise those behind us as to how to do the same. I have done the research on your behalf regarding the multitude of reasons why wisdom exists. My mission is to utilize the voices of the world's greatest thinkers and heroes to compose a guideline of life's wisdom so that you don't have to experience those trials alone.
If you have any questions, please tweet them to me @JoeSielski or email me at DelawareGLU@gmail.com
(Please title your email with the word "Wisdom" so I know it will be for this blog.)
I will do my best to try and answer every question as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thanks.

Truth is Here (a poem)
Truth is here.
Truth is now.
Truth is here to face you.
Truth is here to embrace you.
Truth is love.
Truth is peace.
Truth is freedom.
Embrace truth.
Face truth.
Truth faces us.
Truth embraces us.
Embracing truth is easy when we like it.
Embracing truth is fearful when we don't.
If you can't face the truth, just paint over the truth with a new image.
Paint it as beautiful and elaborate as you can.
Be an imaginative artist.
Paint this image for as long as you need until it is just right.
Paint yourself happy.
Paint yourself at peace.
Paint yourself loved by the images you paint.
Paint this image until you feel at peace again.
Yet truth is here, underneath.
This image brings you an illusion of peace.
This image brings you an illusion of love.
This image brings you an illusion of freedom.
This image brings you an illusion of yourself.
Be a magician.
Make the most beautiful illusions for yourself.
Make them detailed for others.
Get lost in the illusion.
Let it convince you it is now the truth.
Yet truth is here, underneath.
There is only one truth, yet numerous ways to try and conceal it.
Ignore that truth is here.
Ignore that truth is now.
Ignore that truth is love.
Ignore that truth is peace.
Ignore that truth is freedom.
Squander inner peace to convince yourself and others that truth is not here.
Sacrifice peace to maintain the illusion.
Anxiously paint again if the light of truth cracks the glass illusion.
And one day, you may be ready, you may not.
The truth will cleanse you of the illusions.
It knows how.
Trust it.
The truth is here when you're ready for it.
Honesty awaits.
Embrace it.
