The Power of Love

One consequence is that when we hit real love we become upset and disappointed because there are many things that do not fit the cultural ideal. Some of us get demanding and controlling, wanting someone else to do what we think our ideal of romance should be, without realizing our ideal is misplaced.

Ugly Truth or Beautiful Lie | a human under construction - 0 views

. why do i say temporarily? because some truths are not meant to be hidden, the cat will come out of the bag some time, some how.
-
yes what's going to happen? the person who you lied to will be furious, the level of their anger will depend on how significant the truth is. the truth may even break your relationship with the person, trusts built are destroyed

ugly truth or beautiful lie, because at some cases, i would rather listen to lies than truths. but at some point, as bitter as the truth may sound, i would rather listen to it and accept it the way it is

must A speak the truth to B? yes or no?
-
yes? sure, B will forgive A as he has made a new commitment to be a better person. and A got the credit for telling the ugly truth. but B will never see A the same way as before. B will always have second thought that suggests that A might be turning back to the old A, and have an affair with another person. B will never trust A completely, the way B did before.
-
no? this will be perfect if A is sure that B will never know. because if she knows about it from another person, she will be mad, like really mad. she would prefer to know the truth from A himself, and not another person. trusts broken, and their marriage may follow them too.
-
the question is, why do we sometimes choose to tell beautiful lie than to spill out the ugly truth? fear. guilt. shame.
-
fear that the person will be angry at you. the feeling of guilt because you just did something bad. the shame you have to bear because you yourself are unhappy with what you did.
-
how messy things can go after you tell the truth. because you know, people will find out the truth eventually, and believe me, things can go even uglier and messier. truths are easier to be get over with.
