Should You Tell The Truth Even If It Hurts?

Or do you mind your own business?

To Tell The Truth?

If your neighbor’s spouse is cheating, do you warn them?

If your coworker (and friend) have been working for over 20 years, and you know they will be let go soon, do you tell them?

If you found out your employer has been deceiving their clients to pay employee bonuses, would you tell the truth (even if you lost your job)?

If you discovered a business competitor would soon be under a cyber attack, would you let them know?

If you saw a family stealing water from a poisonous well, would you tell them?

If you discovered that humanity had been brainwashed and conditioned (like lab rats), would you tell the truth?

What If It Was You?

Now, let’s reverse it. What if you were the one being cheated on (and everyone knew but you), the one about to suddenly lose employment (7 years before retirement), or the one losing your life savings to that thieving finance firm?

What if you owned the company that came under cyber attack (and lost everything), the poor father taking water from a poisonous well (to feed your family), or the one being brainwashed unbeknownst to you?

If you are on the receiving end, how do you feel now about the truth?

I have discovered that there is no hope for humanity without empathy. We have this; it’s about me and mine attitude. No one seems to genuinely care unless it affects them directly. But my loves, what comes around goes around. What if one day you are desperate for the truth but can’t find it because everyone hid it from you?

No Freedom Without Truth

The truth is what sets you free. If I had been warned about my cheating spouse, I could have finally left that unloving, abusive relationship. If I was told about the scamming finance firm, I could have removed my life savings and filed a complaint (to stop future fraud). If I had known I was secretly being brainwashed, I could have taken steps to free my mind and alert others.

People hold back the truth for a few reasons. The number one cause is fear. The person delivering the message might be fearful of rejection, the response, or standing alone. If they speak out, what would people think of them? The truth is, it doesn’t matter. The truth trumps everything. If you do what is right, you will be rewarded.

Do you understand? The truth is like a powerful water hose that strips away deceit, washes away illusions, and opens the door to freedom.

Be courageous.

““Let your words be anything but empty, Why don’t you tell them the truth?”
