Topic of the Week - Truth Hurts

We sometimes tell ourselves that we want the truth but at times we hate hearing it even though thats what we thought we wanted to hear. You see, I am a very blunt person and sometimes that rubs off the wrong way to people who can't seem to handle the truth or are rather insecure of themselves that they think your lying to them. The truth of course is never soft or forgiving at times and so it hurts to hear it and can even leave a empty hole within depending on the matter at end. So than why say the truth? Well, the way I like to think about it is like pouring rubbing alcohol on a open wound . It hurts once you do it but sooner or later you have to just go through with it and deal with whatever is about to come. It plain sucks but once you go through with it and deal with it, It ain't so bad and eventually you feel a hell of a lot better. That is what hearing the truth is. It hurts to hear it but the faster you hear it or say it, the faster everyone can move forward with their lives for the better and if the other party can't deal with it, than simply it is what it is. You can't have people dragging you, especially ones who are hampering your growth and so as they say the truth shall set you free. Ricardo Signing Off
