A man sees the world through the lens of his own heart.
The honest man assumes others are mostly honest.
The liar believes everyone lies.
The thief believes everyone is trying to steal from him.
It’s not just guilt.
It’s blindness.
When you act without honor, you start believing that no one else has any either.
You lose the ability to trust — not because the world changed, but because you did.
The outlaw buys fear—and he pays for it with his freedom.
The man who lives justly, even in an unjust world, keeps something precious:
The ability to see clearly.
The ability to trust when trust is deserved.
The ability to live without constant fear that others are plotting against him.
Every action you take is shaping the lens you see the world through.
Make it clean.
Make it strong.
Make it worthy of the trust you want to see.
link ideas if you want them later:
After "fear and suspicion are the price of freedom", you could link back to the Outlaw article (Why the Outlaw Mentality Fails).
At the end, aft action you take is shaping the lens you see the world through," you could offer a soft link to a future article about "Strength Through Justice" if yo create nelatr.
