We always asked everyone in our life to be honest and truthful to us, that makes trusting them so easy. Honesty is directly proportional to TRUST. But why, it isn't welcomed with the same warmth as we promised?
I remember someone very close to me revealed some truths about me which were harsh and which I would deny even today. And the reason was something I kept thinking about, nights after nights. I call it harsh truths and I deny them. Why is harsh prefixed to truth ? I asked for it, I am getting it. Why deny it? When I know they are true.
Some truths are what only we want the reflection in the mirror to see and sometimes not even them. We humans are very very complex not only our body but our minds too. We know so much about ourselves, we know our dark desires, sins we committed , and it holds so many bottled up secrets. We know but we do not want to reveal. We ask the world to be honest to us which we can't be with ourselves.
And finally I know why?
JUDGEMENTS.
I do not have a problem revealing I have inclination to BDSM when it comes to my sexual preference.
I do not have a problem revealing how much I love to be the center of attraction.
But I don't want to, because people will judge if you tell them. Even if they discover it on their own when they reveal it to you, you can hear the judgements playing the background music to their words.
And so, we still stand in the same spot, truths will remain harsh and lies as comforting as a feather pillow till the world doesn't build broader roads for their mind.
