Shower Realization Part Deux
Shower realization part 2: (ok I'm lying...I didn't realize this in the shower.) Just thinking how nice it would be to be at a place with everyone that we could be 100 % honest and not prejudge the reaction we think we are going to get from someone when the full truth is told. By not speaking the full truth, we never allow ourselves a clear conscience and develop habits in the wrong direction. Where then is the common line where we don't lie? Also this never allows the other person an opportunity or proper chance/choice to react, stealing from their own possible growth, and possible growth and bond between you and that person's relationship. Truth, even when it hurts, makes relationships stronger when it involves healthy/mature people. It is not easy as it sounds as habits are formed over a long time, but I can promise the more you challenge yourself, the easier it will become. I'm certainly not judging anyone, just stating some things to remind us all to think before we speak as that's what happens to be in the playground of my mind today. Plus I've gotta write down things while I can when I'm in thinky mode. Only happens so often. It just irks me so, when people omit things and bend the truth to avoid hurting others feelings. I get why they do it...I mean it's much easier to avoid admitting faults and hurting someone you care about especially when it's something so seemingly insignificant. And in all honesty, we all do it from time to time. Sometimes because we care about someone immensely and don't want to hurt them (but we all know the truth has a way of being found out), sometimes because we are weak, and still sometimes because we believe that many people are too immature to hear the truth. But it shouldn't be up to you or I to judge that. Instead shouldn't it be our responsibility to tell the truth and give that person the choice on how to take it? Then you are free and clear because the truth will always be the truth and there can be no argument about it. Then feelings are allowed to be truly what they are. Thus truth begets truth, and contrarily lies beget lies. Thoughts?
