Honesty Isn’t Easy
Is it harder to tell the truth and easier to tell a lie? or vice-versa? I think for most it’s much easier to lie and hide the truth…but in the end, it never ends up being the better option in my opinion. At the end of the it all the truth eventually comes out and it hurts but the lie that kept it hidden makes it hurt even more. You’re just inflicting more pain and some people feel like hiding the truth for as long as they can makes things better…For the moment maybe is some cases…but honestly you’re just buying yourself a little time or dragging out a situation longer than you should. I try to make a habit of being honest with people…maybe a little too honest at times because I tend to shoot myself in the foot by always saying exactly how I feel or what I think. A lot of people can’t handle it and a lot of people respect me for it. There’s one thing I have a habit of lying about though…when something is wrong with me and someone asks, I usually say nothing if I know its not going to be beneficial for me to even bring it up.
Its nearly impossible to have a conversation with a liar. Especially the type of liar that will not admit the truth until they are actually caught in the act of doing what was lied about. Those are the exact type of people I can’t stand! Those and the ones who claim they want to be honest with you but will lie in the same breath, ugh!! It’s so frustrating! And lately I’ve been stuck dealing with exactly those type of people and I guess I just need to accept the fact they honestly are incapable of telling the truth or caring about someone else other than themselves or their advancement in a situation. So I have to keep my guard up around certain people, never believe a word that comes out of their mouth, even tho at times they may be telling the truth. Sometimes I even have to take matters into my own hands to find the truth and I’m sick to death of having to do so when I can go to the source without ruffling everyones feathers…but how can people be mad at you for seeking the truth else where when you couldn’t get it from them?
