The Honest Truth

The Honest Truth

Unfortunately, at least once in your life you will hurt someone very deeply, even if you do not want to. You will have to look into their eyes and tell them a truth that could potentially break them. But you will do it anyway because deep down you will know that despite the hurt your Truth will cause, it will have the potential  to create so much goodness later in their life. 

          I know that a lot of us feel guilty when we cause someone pain either by telling them something that will affect them or carrying out an action that they do not like. It makes us feel bad because we are good Human beings. Aren't we? And good Human beings do not hurt others, do they? 

Essentially, how good or bad you are is not determined by a small act of hurtfulness that you  cause but would like to avoid. Because unfortunately, we all play a part in the hard lessons that other people learn - even if we do not want to. I know that you do not want to hurt someone, even though that will help  them learn a valuable lesson in their life, and you know that causing them pain will make you look bad - in your eyes and theirs. And perhaps they will feel broken beyond repair during the initial weeks or months of their grief. 

          I guess the only way to deal with this is to accept the Pain - giving a s proof of you being human - imperfect and flawed in many beautifully tragic ways. Another way to deal with it is to accept that the destiny is working in their favour, to make sure that everything  will eventually work out for the person whom you have hurt. Therefore, the Pain that you cause them is what allows them to become stronger and the Best version of themselves. Yes, we would like to avoid hurting others and getting hurt too. But in the fluctuating pattern of life that involves Learning as well as teaching lessons, we get Broken and we in turn break others and there is nothing we can do to change it. All we can do is accept it, all we can do is hope that Pain will turn into something positive one Day. All we can do is try to be as good to people as we can , even when we are hurting them.
