The truth about The Truth
The truth is out there, goes the famous X-Files quote. I used to be a huge fan. The big question today is, do you really want to know the truth?
Many people claim that they are in search of The Truth.
Unless you’re masochistic, to tell the truth, when you are told the truth, it always hurts like hell, and is NOT fun.
I’m one of those ‘vapid’ people who prefer walking around in a happy state of denial and believe in making people happy. I believe that what you don’t know and others don’t need to know, can’t hurt you or them.
In a nutshell, my principle is: If you have nothing good to say, just shut your gabbing orifice.
That being said, this isn’t a principle that is applicable in every situation. In many important matters, (love, friendship, war…work) it is vital that you need to know when to speak up and tell the truth or at least, your warped version of the ‘truth.’
But where mundane stuff are concerned, like if you think a person looks older than their years or has put on weight or has just dyed their locks a tacky shade of vermillion, I firmly believe my principal applies.
What sadistic pleasure do you derive from hurting others? Is it because you don’t realize it or because you want to hurt others in ways you’ve been hurt before?
The way I see it, we’re all humans. We’re all in the same boat. We all have fragile, vulnerable egos.
Life’s already too tough to have to deal with pointless, hurtful comments on trivial stuff. Even if you believe it's The Truth.
Be tactful in your words to people. Make it your kind deed of the day. Cliched as it may sound, a little kindness goes a long way.
