Why is it that some of us....

....seem to be so reluctant to tell each other the truth? We employ polite euphemisms. We dance delicately round the edge of tricky topics. We justify little white lies, even when they aren't so little and may be perceived, by those with a more critical eye, as possessing a murkier hue. 
The answer is simple. Because, it seems, so many of us can't face, can't take, can't handle, the truth.

So here's the question - How much truth is it safe for you to tell? The answer usually is - About as much as you are willing to hear in return.


Love is a tyrant, sparing none.    (Pierre Corneille)
