a head on collision with the truth...



 a head on collision with the truth.

How easy it is to know and recognise the truth for what it is. Distinguishable from all the other daily crap that may surround one.
The truth can be challenging, frightening destroying .
On the other hand, it can be rewarding, uplifting, progressive.
And should one find that the truth is not the latter, then one tends to ignore it, pretends it ain't so, even gets angry at those trying to bring it to the fore, sugar coating the bad.....refusing to realise there will be a place and time when it will pop up and bite one in the bum.
How easy it is to deal with matters favourable, compliments pleasing.
How easy it is to deal with that which one likes...that is not tedious, heavy and mundane
...who doesn't care to be comfortable in ones workspace, ones social circle...ones life in general. Who doesn't care to better oneself and aspire to achievement and success.
 ... along the way faults will be made, one will be caught out for shortcomings, shortcuts, white lies.
Does one then dig ones hole deeper, refusing to acknowledge and confront the problem...pretending there ain't a problem...the 'truth' of the matter being that it does not lie with oneself but rather is an external issue others must deal with.
Or,
...does one approach the 'ugly' truth carefully and shyly, for it never is a pleasant matter when the truth shows one up for less than perfect or correct.
Damage control...be it on a personal, social or professional level is the key to salvaging any situation gone wrong, where the truth needs to be handled the best way possible and for one to move forward not losing vision or pace.
...in fact building up stronger credibility and reliability and initiating a base of support from others... for dealing with a truth unfavourable shows a character worthy and speaks volumes to ones surroundings .
And should one take a route wrong , ignoring a truth that may be uncomfortable and ugly....one is guaranteed a head on collision...the fatality of ones credibility and the loss of a sustainable growth going forward.

One must never forget, the wool can be pulled over some peoples eyes, but the majority ain't as stupid as one would wish them to be or think they are.

RB.
