What does honesty mean to you? Is it telling the truth? What does it mean to tell the truth?
If someone asks you a question and you give what you think is the honest answer, but the person who asked the question is offended by the answer, have you been "too" honest? Is there such a thing as being "too" honest.
I happen to think there is. Life is not black and white. It is often times gray. In the gray of life a person who might have difficulty with the starkness of truth, only because they are not used to it, may find it painful to hear. Who is responsible then? The speaker who is communicating the truth is responsible at times, to understand who the listener is and to be mindful of the situation and to take that into consideration before just "emoting" the truth, or better put, the speaker's truth.
Can we talk about truth? I'd like to know what you think. Don't you think that the psychologically-minded person carries a greater responsibility?
About Me
- joniknows.com
- On joniknows I intend to discuss a variety of psychological, spiritual and philosophical issues. I hope to do this with sincerity, experience, knowledge and hopefully, some humor! I have spent most of my life, since teenage years, not only with "my head in the clouds" as my father would say, but seriously studying human nature and trying to learn how and why people do what they do. I was born with the gift of compassion (and gab)and through my life, those gifts, along with my psychological nature and a huge need to communicate, bring me to where I am today writing and building this blog where hopefully the ideas I offer are valued because YOU have asked for them!! I am a certified hypnotherapist. At this time I feel confident in such areas of "thinking clearly", personal growth, spirituality, intuition, proper diet and nutrition along with the right exercise for each individual. I am currently a newly practicing hypnosis and pleased to have been certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists. My teacher and mentor, Dr. Tatarunis, continues to be a gift.
