The Brutality Of Truth Truth is brutal. It is non-compromising to circumstance. It is also perceptional. Those who seek to speak the truth at all times will discover that there circle of “so called” friends will be quite small. However the circle of people who respect them will be large. People are generally taught that the “little white lie” is acceptable if it saves embarrassment or hurt feelings. But is it worth surrendering personal integrity to tell one? So if I always tell the truth as I see it I will then be prepared for the behavioral consequences of my actions
The brutality of "truth" is that is sets one free from the reality of being. I've known Mormons who live by that "truth" to the spirit and letter of its dictates and laws. They individuals I know are honest to a fault. They try to the best of their abilities to follow their prophets.
When I see their truth I'm a little envious because it isn't something I could ever see as true.
For those for whom their truth prevails it inevitably runs afoul of another's truth.
The problem with truth is it sets you free from other people's truth. The Mormons I just mentioned have problems with other people's truth and it causes both parties much pain. This is because Mormon truth is brutal and it aligns itself with many other likeminded truths that cause pain in the name of truth.
