RE: From the Heart

I think the world would be a much better place if people told the truth all the time. Some feeling would get hurt but if the person in question is a good friend, you would get past that and i think we all know a person or two that really needs to be told something but no one does tell them out of fear of hurting their feelings. Something like a really bad haircut or pretending to like their significant other when in reality you and everyone else thinks their partner is toxic as hell. You can only really let them know how you felt about it once it inevitably ends (haircut or relationship.)

On particular instance in my own life about how honesty would have been the better option was when a friend of mine had horrible breath, all the time. I never said anything because who wants to be told that their breath smells like a dumpster? Well it turns out that he had two teeth that were rotting in the back of his mouth and he didn't know about it because you can't smell your own breath. He ended up needing surgery because of this and when I later told him that his breath was just awful for months leading up to this, we agreed to always be honest with one another from that point forward. It has resulted in me not wearing some embarrassing outfits later in life as a consequence :)
