People say truth hurts, but I think untruths hurt worst... But amongst this two, the utmost worst is not found... It's those half truths that hurts the most...
My explanation of that quote...
Truths hurts because the bare facts are laid out for you to see. It's definite, with no room left for those tiny hopes, ifs, and maybes... When something is set in stone, it takes a lot to change it... Decades and decades of erosion, before a tiny layer off the surface is even minutely changed...
However, untruths, or lies, hurt worst because they were told with the intention of deceiving us... And, these lies were told usually carrying either of this two reasons; self-protection or protecting our feelings. Neither is worst than the other, because both hurts like hell... In matters of the liar protecting themselves, we see how much we matter in their eyes... We are deemed to be hurtful, thus resulting in their need for self-preservation when around us... How is that for friendship or whatever relationship, for that matter... Why would anyone hurt anyone else on purpose if they hold any sort of positive relationship? Are we to be looked upon as someone that's maniacal or insane to go around hurting people? I leave that for you to decide...
Also, when lies are told, false hopes are given... It's as good as preventing an accident, only to make the incident a larger accident, like preventing a glass cup from dropping from the table and shattering, then raising the said cup high above your head only to bring it down crashing into smithereens yourself... While the cup lasts longer, it will still come down, with a harder impact, because someone you trusted lied to you...
With that said, why do half truths hurt the most then? Half truths are exactly as the name says... A mixture of truths and lies... It's worst because the lies are more convincing, and when it gets exposed, people no longer know whether or not to trust you... Your words are like sweet poison... It contains just enough truth, as the poison, but with even more lies to sweeten it, ensnaring the victim with enough sad truths, but also enough false hope to continue... In the beginning, it may seem to be the best thing to say, but then you will need to spin more and more half truths to support it... With the worst of both side, it's no wonder why this is the utmost worst, isn't it?
K la... Say enough le, let you people digest... Next time I'm bored then I update again~~ Haha~~!
