Seems to me, there is a double standard. Some people proclaim their honesty like a badge. They proclaim and convince themselves "I'd rather be honest and hurt you then lie to you."
I happen to think this complete bullshit. First because usually when they say be honest they mean "Don't lie to me!" However, more often then not they are really lying to themselves.
They take the "tough love" stance. To me this is nothing more then people with a SM streak to be really mean and hurtful. Which really boils down to a power trip..."I get off on hurting you because I want someone else to feel the pain I feel too."
Being a liar, or being honest doesn't really matter I guess,NO ONE really lasts very long in the instant karma game. Think about that for a moment...
Alas, the truth ray gun hurts no doubt. Would you have it pointed at you?
In the immortal words of Eric Clapton: "Before you accuse me...take a look at yourself."
And Jewel..."in the end, only kindness matters."
I don't know...maybe I'm being too honest eh?
