Why as a society are we inclined to sugarcoat everything that isn't sweet. No one wants to hear bad news, so many people either fabricate the truth or never say it in fear of hurting someone's feelings.
It could either be that you don't want to hurt someone's feelings, or you just don't want someone to dislike you for being the bearer of facts. It's a lose-lose anyway you look at it... Or is it?
If people stopped withholding or manipulating the truth the world would be a much better place. Think about it, Let's say something is going on between you and another person and you don't know quite how to say it. Rather than being silent, just voice your mind. They may be more understanding than you think. Honesty very far, you may lose a little in the friendship but it is far outweighed by the respect you may gain.
There is no need to protect anyone from anything anymore. The world is changing, bad things happen everyday and the days of fairytales are far over. Whether you and someone else are in different pages of a novel, or your paperback is coming to an end. You have to close the book on the situation eventually. Why not do it the right way?
You have far more to gain with the truth, than you do without it.
