I'm playin devils advocate again ...do u think its better to tell someone the truth ..even if they will prolly never know the difference... knowing that the truth is what that person is asking for..but also knowing the truth will change everything..?
define: truth-noun-1. A statement proven to be or accepted as true. 2. Sincerity; integrity.
define: freedom-noun-1. The capacity to exercise choice; free will 2.exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
my theory has always been dont ask questions u dont want to know the answers to...tho..most do anyway..is it more torture to know the truth?..or does NOT knowing kill u? even tho u may not like the answer, something about KNOWING the truth is freeing to me..even tho the scripture that says, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." is referring to God's truth..to me the concept is the same...
(goodcitizen.com)"Telling the truth doesn't mean randomly expressing ones feelings or thoughts. Nor does mean expressing feelings or thoughts in an insensitive way. But it does mean telling people how you feel and what you think, when appropriate. It does mean being true to oneself (telling oneself the truth) and not to someone else's wishes. Psychiatrist David Viscott said that "the truth may hurt, but it's always hurts less than a lie". "
how do i "get" free?..first accept the truth..even if u dont like it..even if u could never fathom it to be so..accept it...then let it go...everything is a choice...with the truth come lots of emotions...hate, rage, anger, disappointment, fill in the blank..lol...but holding on to all of those feelings is what keeps u in bondage..its what keeps the turmoil and misery in your life...people keep secrets their whole life and it haunts them everyday...LET IT GO!
as time passes..i try to walk away with the lessons life brings...i think about how conflicted people can be in themselves..knowing and not knowing..torn by choices to tell or not to tell something..above anything, i remember words are powerful, and once it's said u CAN'T take it back..

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable. --Jim Davis
It's not a matter of what is true that counts but a matter of what is perceived to be true. --Henry Kissinger
