The truth about Truth
The truth hurts feelings, breaks relationships, makes enemies out of friends, turns love into hate, makes people unpopular and yet most wise men still say that honesty is the best policy. In my own personal opinion, everytime I have expressed my truth, it hasn't gone down very well. So I am wondering whether is Honesty really the best policy?
I mean do relationships last when partners are completely honest about their feelings for each other, or do they last when the truth is introduced with a few white lies? Is it acceptable to tell your partner how you feel about them or is it better to keep a few things encrypted?
Why is it so hard for people who are the closest to you to tell you what they really think and why is it relatively easier for a stranger to tell you exactly what they think about you and why is it more likely for us to accept the truth from the stranger?
I guess the closer you get to a person the more vulnerable he or she gets to the sharpness of your words. I guess this is also the reason why we appreciate the warmth of the sun from a distance, the closer we get, the more burnt we are..
But all said and done, I feel comfortable in the presence of a person who says the truth and doesnt sugar coat the real bitter stuff. I want to keep it real and the truth helps me be real. The truth is my mirror of who I really am, and even if it doesnt show me things I want to see, I now know who I really am and what I am made up of. I dont think I would like to be with a person who constantly puts me on a pedestal and tells me that I am the best. I feel that I am trapped in an island of luxury cut off from the real world. I believe in constant evolution, change is my constant. The truth that sometimes I am not good enough, fuels that change. Improving on my best performance. I rather play hardball with myself at home than get ripped off by ugly critisism by strangers. How many of us have watched the selection round of American Idol and were in shock to hear horrible, off-tune, cacophonous voices trying to be a music idol? I mean did these people have friends who could tell them the real honest truth before they made a big fool of themselves on national and international TV.
The truth is that the truth is out there and the truth cannot be hidden for too long so its better for the people who really and truly love, adore and care for you to have the courage to tell you the blunt ugly truth than you hearing it from someone else. And when you do hear the truth, dont shoot the messenger, embrace him because its very hard to be in his shoes.
