Damaged?

Why is it so hard for us to accept the truth about something that we least want to hear about. When humans are told something that they do not want to believe about themselves or others they go into a denial stage of some sorts. "That is not true" or "you do not know what you are talking about" are examples of what people generally say. The saying "the truth hurts" can be true based on a number of reasons: 1) because we do not want to believe that we are in the wrong of something and 2) We do not want others to see the wrong in what we have done. The truth is, humans allow the truth that they hear to hurt them; they do not want to be corrected. So, how can the truth be told without the hurt that seems to come with it. The answer is: nothing. There is nothing that you can do to make truth less painful then what others want to make it for themselves. The truth is supposed to set you free, which is a commonly used saying. Since truth is given positively then why do we take negatively. We turn a healing power into one that can do you harm. The fact of the matter is, we do not understand the complete use of truth and how it can benefit us. Doing that, effects us negatively and does not allow us to develop as better humans in this society. Sometimes, hearing the truth can be hard, but it is up to us to allow truth to heal us and make us stronger. Allowing someone to be honest with us is so much better than allowing someone to lie to us. If you think about.. what develops a better impact on your life. When you hear the truth be grateful for it, cause a lie could have been easily told.

At the end of the day, the truth may hurt; but, lies do so much for damage.
