Truth

I was drafting a different article that I find it hard to expand a little further probably because I do not feel the topic that it makes me hard to think of the words to say. Ironically the movie that I am watching talked about the article that I was suppose to draft. I just hope I can finish it tomorrow.

"Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" Seems like a line from a court room right? I got the idea of this topic from my previous articles, Questionable questions and Pretty little liar. Though I really do not know if someone still lies even if they swore an oath. One thing is for sure and that is we all know that almost everyone lies. However, what would you rather hear? A slapping truth or a sugarcoat lie? Of course we all want the truth but there are some instances in life wherein we do not want to hear the truth. Have it ever happened to you when you asked a question and wished that you should not have asked it in the first place because the answer was too painful to bare?

The outcome of both telling the truth and telling a lie is pain. We only know the famous phrase, "the truth hurts" but in reality both lie and truth hurts. Growing up I was open to truthful responses and factual criticisms mostly coming from my dad probably because he is a lawyer. That sometimes I do not want to ask him because I know what he is going to say. But for me it is better to be confronted with the truth than to believe something that is a lie. Yes there were some truths that I wished that I did not know but I just have to accept and leave with it. Whether it is my family or my friends, I always want to know the truth. I am just thankful that they always tell me the truth or their honest opinions. It hurts but it is a way for me to improve though sometimes it takes time for me before I can move on. LOL.

My mom and I have been watching FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, a Filipino drama series, for quite some time now. We have watched it before then we stopped then watched again and you know what happens next. LOL. There was a scene when Lia played by Jane de Leon asked his father played by Christian Vasquez if he has a twin brother. It was because there was a kidnapping case that Cardo along with other policeman helped Lia's father in saving his daughter. Christian answered Lia that no he does not have a twin brother and he never met Cardo's team before. He was lying because it turns out that he has an illegitimate daughter.

Having an illegitimate child is not new to everyone and can really happen in real life. But what if you were in Lia's place? Wpuld you still look for answers even if your father already answered you. Trust your guts. Trust your instincts. If she would do that and finds out that true then her family maybe shattered. They say that the truth shall set you free and we cannot really hide the truth. Do you believe in those?

No matter how good you are in hiding something, someone or somebody will always know the truth. Have you ever experienced something where you found out about the truth? Whether someone was lying or hiding things from you? I am actually thinking of my past flirtationship with regards to hiding things. LOL. He sure does have an impact in my life. No connection with the truth because I know even before that he has many girls. The only thing that he hid from me was that one of his girls was his workmate.

What for you is most painful? The lies, the truth or finding about the truth? For me I think it is the latter because you would not be seeking out for the truth if no one lied to you in the first place. Sometimes because of those instances that you start to question or doubt a person that you do not know who to trust anymore or if you can still trust somebody else.

P.S. sorry I could not find a better lead image for my topic.
