Sam’s Hangout #127 - “BRUTAL HONESTY OR PEACEFUL LIES?"

Do you believe people should always choose honesty, even when the truth could hurt someone or destroy a relationship? In difficult situations where the peace can be disrupted by your honesty, how do you determine when it is necessary to tell the truth or stay silent?

Answer.

Yes, I believe honesty should come first. Because at the end, it saves one from future impediment. Everyone needs peace, and sometimes trying to maintain peace with secrecy only make matters worse at the end. We can't save what's pure(peace) with what's morally wrong(lies).

The myth that truth could destroy a relationship only happens when honesty wasn't the foundation from the start. Truth hurt, but time heals and people at any given time will choose truth over lies. Truth hurts but lies destroys in the nearest future.

Wisdom is profitable to direct and that's why there's time to tell the truth and time to withheld the truth.. most times I tell people certain things when they're calm and in good spirit. Or when I believe they're mature enough to handle certain truth. But for a relationship, honesty should be the foundation even before the bricks of the relationship are laid.

This is an interesting topic 😄😅

Hello people of Nigeria 👋🤗

No, I don't think so that people stay always honest to others at some point they start to told withheld truth to really protect others. If we speak a lie which could save other's then i always prefer to save other's instead of speaking truth especially when stay silent can save others.

I think we should judge the situation if it'll goes much worse with our truth then we should stay silent and when we can really protect others because sometimes honesty not need too much and we've to protect other's feelings.

I don't remember at the moment exact time when i did this but usually I prefer to stay silent in according to situation.

That's my thoughts on this weekend topic

Have a happy weekend 😊

In my opinion, I feel I can be honest without saying every truth the moment I know it. First, I always ask myself if the truth I want to say is necessary and if it's to the right person and whether the truth I want to say will help the situation on ground or just unload it. Because sometimes, and with what I've seen, it's better to just remain silent and protect someone's feelings maybe temporarily or for long. But if that truth has something hidden that they need to know rightfully, and have the right to know it or will allow harm to continue, I believe tell the person so it won't turn into deception. And personal, the difference is kindness can slow down or soften the truth. And if I choose to be deceptive, it means I'm hiding it for my personal convenience

My 2 cent.

Happy weekend lovely people 🌹

For me I believe honesty is important in everything and whatever relationship we're trying to build or whatever situation we want to save based on not hurting the other party's feeling because lies will definitely come back to hurt the person when the honest truth finally comes out so why not just speak the truth. I believe whatever comes out of the situation in telling the truth is only going to last for a while unlike when the truth is let open. The scar it leaves last very long more than we could think it will.

Brutal truths!!!
I feel somethings are better left unsaid. Even in relationships, saying everything most times brings in problem. Considering people's feeling when talking is good, even if the truth must be said, there are better ways to present it so that the person won't be hurt. Truth is not always pleasant but making it brutal should not be applied in everycase. In some situation it will be wise, to cover things up.
There was this case that trended on Facebook, about bobrisky and cubana chief priest. The saga was about EFCC Getting them arrested for spraying money extravagantly and having no respect for the currency.
When they were tried differently, cubana chief priest said he was not guilty, and was able to exonorate himself. Bobrisky being the good one agreed He/She was guilty and was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. In some situations, wisdom should be applied, not everycase deserve saying things as it is.

Being honest is good. And the truth is, no matter how good your lies maybe , one day tge truth will be revealed.

So i feel people should just be honest, but yoi must understand the timing. There are some truth that you should know when to say it and when to delay.
