Can all truths be positive? People say that the truth will set you free. Perhaps in most cases that is a fact. But what of the situations where telling the truth is only painful? Telling the truth can mean any number things for each individuals. When do we decide to tell the truth and when do we decide to lie? There are a number of times when I have told a truth to a friend and all that resulted was a temporary end of friendship. Do we hold back because of the sensitivity of others? Do certain individuals require a lie? And if so, why?
Take a moment to think of anyone you know that may be one of those who you think you would have to alter the truth for. What is the reason you have to do this? Is it an obvious reason? Or is it perhaps just a gut feeling you have that lets you know that this person is particularly sensitive? |
