the Truth

I used to own this little boat. It had a unique power source: it was powered by the truth. Every day I was honest, it traveled further away. I wanted to see it circumnavigate the whole world, so I dedicated my whole life to being honest. Some days I'd slip up and he'd just get carried by the waves, but most days I did alright. I could watch him slowing traversing the world on my map at home every night. Then I woke up one day and my boat wasn't moving. I tried to be the most honest I'd ever been, but my boat wouldn't budge. I guess the truth didn't matter anymore.
