Truth Hurts

People never get hurt when you lie to them (unless they find out you're lying of course) but telling someone the absolute truth seems to always hurt them more.. I really dont understand why. Is it because our mask of self-illusion is what keeps us going ?I personally prefer to know the hard facts so i can deal with whatever is going on. I am discovering though that a lot of people arent able to accept reality and i find this a very sad thing. Its kind of like the movie "the matrix" which pill do you want to take? See not knowing or living a lie is unbearable to me but now it is important to play the game and take whatever is dished to you and just keep doing what youre doing. For heaven's sake never point out the obvious...it seems to worry people. I've also realised that the people who are most loved are the ones who offer no opposition or opinion on anything. Note that your life will be smooth sailing as long as you accept everything and dont make any waves. The moment you stand up for something you believe in, the repercussions are so severe and quick its actually scary. Just say the word and see what happens :P
