The two FACETS of HONESTY

 

Facing truths is overwhelming, and scary, but at the same time, liberating.

Truthfulness is the essence of honesty, yet "naked truths" are sometimes connected with being brutally honest. These two facets of honesty are crucial in their own ways, just as acceptance is a must for healing. There are moments when we must be direct, and there are times when we must be compassionate. Whatever the case, it all depends.

As a result, the line between the two is razor-thin.
Many people wrongly associate "naked truths" with varied levels of disrespect and toxicity.

"Naked truths" are essentially honesty in disguise when they are presented in a powerful and suitable way. It's important to make informed and effective decisions about when and how, to be honest.

The best quote by Colleen Hoover from "It Ends With Us".

Firstly, the timing of honesty is crucial. It is essential to assess the situation and understand when the right moment is, to be honest. Sometimes, immediate honesty can be overwhelming or damaging, especially if emotions are running high. Therefore, taking a moment to evaluate the timing allows for a more thoughtful and productive approach.

Furthermore, understanding the purpose behind our honesty is crucial. Honesty should not be used as a means to hurt or manipulate others. Instead, it should serve as a tool for building trust and fostering healthy relationships. By aligning our intentions with positive outcomes, we can ensure that our honesty is both genuine and beneficial.

Nobody wants the ugly lies and the naked truths, they are hard to digest. But everyone wants beautiful lies and beautiful truths- just because they're sweet to hear, mind you, delusions have the worst way to burst out. Naked truths and coated lies aren't always pretty,
