Being Truthful .....

In today's society, the truth is slowly losing its meaning .I notice a funny behaviour in nearly all humans which is they prefer hearing to a lie rather then the actual truth.I am not generalizing here but maybe if you analyse it yourself, you might also find out that people are more attracted to lies then the actual truth.

For instance, will you ever correct your bosses if their perception on a matter is wrong or will you tell the truth instead for the betterment of that matter and the company. Most people would tell a lie just to keep themselves in good books with their bosses, although knowing that the truth can better the bosses perception and benefit the company. Hence, this is a common place where the truth is lost. Sometimes, i feel that its becoming a sin to tell the truth especially if people around you can't accept betterment.Nothing much can be done then to remain silent or tell another lie. Sigh .....

On the other hand, we can't only blame others for not speaking the truth but we should also blame ourselves for not being able to accept the truth. I know the truth is at times painful, but this pain must be suffered for the sake of betterment. I feel that if one is humble enough, they would be able to accept the truth even if it comes from a kid.Remember this, we were all born as ordinary human before holding such powerful job positions, hence maybe we should first put more weight on being that ordinary human because the truth is we are not our job.A great man once said, if you want to test someone give them either wealth or power, as both of these entities will give one enough rope to hang themselves if its greedily searched. I also believe that there are ways to voice out the truth and if the truth is commnunicated in a proper manner it would not hurt the person receiving it on the other end.

Dont sacrifice the truth, as the truth is the only true thing left in this temporary journey.
