Whoever spreads the truth, however surprising, does not always receive confidence in return. When we talk about sincerity, we certainly face a double-edged sword, because many feel uncomfortable and even threatened with the truth. Indeed, in some cases it is much easier to live in a lie, the truth is, in the end, a mirror that not everyone is prepared or does not want to look at to see its true reflection.
The subject is always curious, because almost everyone reacts to the lie by seeing it as a kind of aggression or a direct way of manipulating reality. However, there are those who prefer a slightly more “reflective” treatment, with half-truths, than with an honesty that can sometimes hurt.
- One thing worth practicing on a daily basis.
- Rather than an unlimited truth.
- Is to learn never to say the opposite of what we think.
- Only in this way will we take care of our emotional well-being and be consistent with our values and needs.
In our daily lives, most of us use pious lies, we tell a friend that she is very beautiful even if we see that she has great dark circles, we assure our parents that we are fine, even if we have them, for example, a cold With this we maintain a functional balance because they are situations that we call of little importance that will not influence trust.
Now, when circumstances are different and generate different problems of varying magnitude, which can undermine trust, we use honesty, however, there are those who do not even conceive the possibility of telling white lies, because for them, small lies generate big lies in the end, and lying is something that some personalities cannot tolerate.
This is where the problems of coexistence often arise, for those who spread the truth in their daily lives are seen by others as the one who reveals everything, who says what is in front of him, who respects no one. In fact an attachment to our righteousness and dignity because a half-truth will always be a complete lie, even if we try so hard to say no.
Now let’s imagine these family reunions where we sometimes tend to be silent in the face of some inappropriate or even offensive comments that some parents often make between them, far from holding the situation, we decided to raise our voices and tell the truth about what we think of a certain behavior, it is very likely that they do not see this reaction very well, and even that they disapprove of us, but without a doubt the attitude will make us feel much better.
Anyone who gets angry or angry when someone tells them a truth prefers to live in a lie.
Although they often say that the truth is nothing more than their personal perception, there are aspects that, far from being neutral or inoffensive, require a reaction, they require us to assert ourselves and raise our voices to be honest, direct and, above all, consistent with However, our convictions must also be clear that there is a limit, and that limit is not practicing sincericide.
We’ll explain what’s next
Truth must always aim to improve our coexistence, promote mutual respect and generate trust, a fundamental aspect to be taken into account: truth should never be used as a form of aggression or humiliation.
In conclusion, it is worth making good use of this truth that hurts, even if it always ends up healing, because those who simply invent lies are comforted first and then killed, and it is certainly not ideal for building trust.
