Scales of Justice.
What do we do with the truth? Does it not depend on the fact it represents? What do we do with the truth we feel people have the right to know? What do we do with the truth people have entrusted us with? What rights do people have of knowing the truth? What defines a right? When a truth, as like most other truths can hurt mans' ego, and is capable of tearing someone down, do we still share the truth? What is the boundary between truths that can be shared and not be shared? Remembering all the same that truths should be for all, why do we still choose to not express it? What do you think happens when an entrusted truth is shared out openly? Will not trust be betrayed? As trust is betrayed, will not truth hide itself from the public ear? When that happens, will not the world be out of sync with peace? Some ideas here are products of a class I had once taken. The world as we live in is of minimum trust. It is a wonder, that an unspoken, perhaps unaware fear, dense the atmosphere. Without trust, how can there be communication? Not interaction as the one which applies in our daily life, but the one which is the block builder of all relationships. When one breaks trusts, one breaks the walls of the relationship. The whole that had taken time and energy to build, crumples down with ease within the very second. People who handle the truth others had entrusted them with without much care should be punished severely in my opinion, though they will be eventually; one way or another. Perhaps the truth that people should know, truths that empower goodness in one's life, should be shared without hesitation. However, though I trust my instinct when it comes in delivering truths that may possibly hurt a person even if it to be beneficial, I wish that there exist a guideline into doing so. I believe anything can be mended with grace and forgiveness, but not broken trust. Maybe it can, just much less in my case.
