Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog
Hearing the truth about ourselves from others comes with its reactions. Truth is said to hurt, no matter how it is presented to us, but in most cases, it becomes more painful based on the behavior that it's presented with. But even with that, if we are being told the truth we shouldn't react negatively because it's for our good and our correction, although hearing the truth comes with guilt and shame. We ought to understand that pain is inevitable, it’s part of being human. But by practicing acceptance of the truth will help us avoid some needless suffering and future pains.
Truth is a bridge, though it doesn't remove the issue, but it does allow us to stay connected despite our wrongs as well make amends.
Reactions to truth can indeed be painful, because they often challenge our beliefs, perceptions, and the understanding of ourselves as well as the world around us, as humans our consciousness is deeply complex, and sometimes it become fragile, and this fragility may stem from the fact that most of us possess a beautiful thing. Truth may be painful when being confronted with it, and on the other end it's a key to happiness, and putting a smile on our faces. And it has helped me in changing my mindset about issue and becoming a better person.
I could recall an incident in my life, where i was so ashamed of myself because i was confronted with the truth and it was contrary to what I was told and what I believed, and that truth helped to redirect my steps. As a young lady, I was going the wrong direction, though I was enjoying every bit of what I was doing, because I saw nothing wrong with it, but reflecting on those moments i sit still to pounder on these questions; would i have ended well, what I'm enjoying today, would i have enjoyed them, would i have achieved any thing or succeed in anything? The answer was "No". Thank God for my mum that spotted the changes and my actions, and called me to order, she asked questions, and i couldn't lie to her face but was open to her and the reasons for my actions, that was when truth was unraveled to me, and i saw my ignorance and my nakedness, i was so ashame and remorseful of my actions, and i was made to promise never to go back to it and turn a new live, although it hurts because I had to let go. But I'm glad that I was confronted with the truth earlier enough, and that has helped me to be who I am.
I also had different experiences, some being pleasant while others were awful, but in all, the important fact remains that it was the truth, those ashamed, and remorseful I had to accept them, make amends and turn a new live. Though some pains come with the manner of approach and not the truth itself, but in all i believe they love us before they could come up with the truth to us. It's a real expression of love, though shameful or painful but we have to appreciate them for looking out for us and our success. Truth serves as the unwanted force we need to set ourselves back on the right path, and in facing the reality of life.
Being confronted with the truth by others brings the feelings of discomfort, anxiety, or fear, and we become defensive when confronted with a truth because it challenges our ego, beliefs, or values, though we may be remorseful or regretful of our actions but it's the best for us, and it becomes risky when we resist the truth.
Reactions to truth can be painful, but they can also be opportunities for growth, learning, and transformation.
