What's so wrong by telling the truth? Is it a sin to be direct? Can we be jailed for being openly expressive? I really do not understand our Asian culture that we are not supposed to be too agressive and too direct when comes to expressing our state of mind. Then, if that is the case, how are we gonna tell the other party the truth? Are we gonna go round and round the bush before telling the truth. Isn't it wasting our time? I know.. majority of our people likes to be commended, likes to hear nice things, and only wish to hear good things about themselves. But what if it is the other way round?
Ye.. common advise I received is that to tone down my style of expression, but then to what extent? What is the level of 'tone' are we talking about here? Perhaps, we need to add more sugar, sweets, etc.. till the actual fact is no more there. Yuck!! hello!! am not that type. No matter how I try, I can't! I think if I do,I will end up vomitting.
My thoughts about this issue is that people could not accept the truth because sometimes truth can hurt. But are we gonna just sweep the problem under the carpet and hope that it will slowly fade away with the dusts? I really pity those people who cannot accept critism. I guess they will be forever living in fairy tales. What a hypocrite! My only hope is that one day more people will be more than willing to learn how to accept the truth, no matter how painful it is.
What matter most is that the critic is given in good faith.
