Together, Always Together

To endure in isolation in a prison camp is probably one of the hardest things for a human to do. The reason they do that is because it's the easiest way to break you. And so if you study people that have survived long term isolation in an enemy prison camp, you will hear this story. I found ways to connect to my view. I mean, sometimes they did it with Morse code on the walls, sometimes they did it with a broomstick. If you study Stockdale, who lived in the Hanoi Hilton for seven years, he got really creative, but he had to, because if he stays alone, he knows he's going to go nuts. And when you go nuts, you quit, you give up. So how important is a truth teller? How important is truth teller Imperative. How important it is to enjoy the camaraderie of suffering? Imperative. So you need a truth teller, and you need somebody to go through all of the struggle with you. You will not do well without a truth teller, and you will not do well if you have a truth teller. But everything they tell you you have to go do on your own, you will not endure. That's why you go seek out different groups and teams, because you know there's power in that kind of community. So we need truth tellers, we need real community.
