The truth about the truth

It is a very very common saying that people can’t handle the truth.  That it is some great thing that is too powerful or too devastating for our feeble little minds.  Well I actually beg to differ.  The truth is the only thing that seems to ever give someone any type of clarity.  And when someone has to search for their truth or for whatever someone was trying to hide from them, then they are put into a world of turmoil or rage that could have been avoided.  Yes there may be some quarrel between the messenger and the recipient, but it will be resolved a lot faster than if that recipient is told by someone else or figures it out on their own.  And if you think about it, trying to hide the truth from anyone seems pretty cold hearted.  It also proves that you are not a true friend to that person and probably will never be.

For a true friend would be open and honest with their friends.  Because in this world, you do need some people that you can count on most of the time.  I would love to say all of the time but let’s be real here, nobody can be counted on or trusted for every single type of situation.  Like if you ask me about the emotions that may overtake a woman when she is going through her period, I would be lost because I’m a guy and I don’t have to worry about that.  So ask yourself this simple question when you are going through life, are you honest with people?  If you answer yes to that question, then who is it that you are honest to?  That will show you who you actually care about and who is your true friend.  Believe in everyone, but trust no one.
