Does your truth hurts or liberating?

Both, depends on what truth is being told and to whom.

The TRUTH Sucks, Huh ??

Everyone says that it's a healing thing. The hard part of this is learning how to forgive. I thought I had achieved the fine art of forgiving, but recently resentment, anger and bitterness has reared it's ugly head again. The one that it hurts the most is the one that harbors these feelings. I've read a couple of books on forgiveness,, but reading and actually doing the forgiving seems next to impossible for me to accomplish...........:)

Accountability is one of the measurements of truth.  There are many but I believe accountability is by far the best.  Lies can't stand the light of day when they have to be accounted for.  It's like tracing the origin of where it came from and determining what was the reason for it.  Then you will know if it is a lie or the truth.

I beleive you can say anything if you speak the truth in love.\n\nThere are times where I had to say things to people that were really senstive issues like bad oral hygene or people that are very self absorbed.\n\nTruth hurts but it also sets you free. The Bible says in Proverbs 27 that wounds of a friend are better than kisses of an enenmy, meaning a friend would love you enough to hurt your feelings to make you a better person and say the truth even if you dont want to hear it.\n\nFor example I wanted to get married more than anything in the whole wide world and I met a man who is now my husband, there were people in our family that were relatives that did not share our enthuiisiam for love.\n\nOne realtive had a family meeting regarding the two of us getting married and let me tell you I was really angry and mad. \n\nBut in all fairness we did not have jobs. no benenfits and she expalined to my parents that my fiance would never make a lot of money and that I would not be able to stay home the way my mom did. I did not have a teachable sprirt at that time either.\n\nBecause this person cared enough to "burst my bubble" of joy\nmy parents have a clear picture of what my husband and I would have to face.\n\nThis realtive was my mother in law. We are living on our own, we both work, and my mother in law till this day tells us and others how proud she is of us for waiting and not rushing into marraige.\n\nIf you love someone speak the truth in love. Some of the closest friends at our church are the ones who take us aside and lovingly point out where we need to improve.\n\nAntoher question are people being nice to be genuine or aviod conflict? I feel it is more important to be genuine than it is to be "nice" I hope this is of help to you and this was a very good question

Certain things happen when folks lie. It is hard to make eye contact so you may want to try forcing that. Most people will give more details to a lie than when they are telling the truth. \nBut can you handle the truth?

They hate when someone else recognizes that they are lying or they don't want to admit something to themselves. It doesn't seem so bad until they hear it from another person.\n\nI'd personally rather hear the truth even if it makes me mad. At least I respect you for saying it.

There are no moral absolutes.  Anyone who tells you they always tell the truth is offering their next lie to you. I think what is important with a question of honesty, are motivations.  I think offering the truth most of the time can be shown to be the proven necessary course for most human interactions.  Without a trust in honesty, society fails.  But there are times when a falsehood could be considered.  The question then must be asked, why?  Do you lie for selfish self serving reasons?  Or are you lieing for perhaps something greater than yourself?  A stupid example, say a roommate or lover was irresponsible the night before and got tanked.  After they sober up you might discuss the behavior without beating them up about it.  But I'll call that boss everytime and explain that she is really ill and can't make it work.  Sure, the question of true alturism can always be raised, and such propositions can always be questioned from a perspective of relativity, but my emphasis would be, that circumstance can be considered in any variety of thought experiments within which the right thing to do could be to lie. Is it a lie for yourself, or are you attempting to help someone or something?  That said, lieing does suck.  Crush my heart but please tell me the truth, I've lived long enough, I can handle it.

yes, a lot of times. i have felt the need to mask my feelings a lot of times. specially when i know that someone might get hurt if he/she knows how i feel about it, and i don't want to hurt him/her. some people might say it's dishonest of me to do so. but  u have to look at both the sides of the coin.\nalso, i don't show the real side of me, except to a very few people who i think can know me. it's exciting this way. like making someone discover u layer by layer. \nfrankly, i don't know what i'm talking about now! \n\np.s. if i falsely claim that i am a hypocrite, does that make me a hypocrite??

There's no "political sin" and nothing to be forgiven. If you 've been saying what you feel to be true, where is the fault? I will never apologize for my opinions or emotions because then I would only be a liar to both myself and the people I've compromised for. If you feel like you're going the wrong direction, just change it. Don't dwell on past actions with regret because ultimately they bring you to the point you want to be at (if you're lucky enough to find that point), and there's really no other way to get there.

Curiosity, and when they hear the truth it hurts.

" i hate myself for hurting you " or " still friends ? "

i personally don't think its easy to lie. i tried when i was younger, and it ended up hurting someone. unless its like (who ate the last of the ice cream?) i would blame the dog.\ni think some people don't want to hear the truth, or the one lieing doesn't repect the one they r talking to.

i understand u.. i hate it when people dont tell me the truth or hide everything behind a lie.. but u know what? it's no me the one lying.. it's not me being dishonest.. i know i deserve something better.. i know i wont change ... it hurts.. like it always does in any type of situation.. but things only happen for the bettter... we have to learn to deal with that cause it's going to happen a lot of times... we have to keep on going with what we have.. with what we care for... i'm listening to some cool songs and laughing at my assistant here... he's listening to blues and sings like he's the best but he sucks ass!!... :P

It would seem to pose a dilemma, however, in my opinion I am tempted to believe them up until the time that I catch them telling the truth and which will eventually happen if one engages the liar into a lengthy discussion.\nWith the proper question posed at a particular time within the discourse the truth will 'blurt.'\nA question such as "Do you want to be treated to a free steak dinner on me?" \nHope this does it.
