Answer Question - tell me the truth...

Truth is something that has two sides, it's factual and sincere, but many don't appreciate or like it. Truth causes anger, frustration, defense and even fights...how can something so good have the ability to make a person react in an angry way? In my own personal experience there was time when truth was a hard reality to face. However, as grow and learn, I've come to a place in my life where I appreciate truth more and more...I know it's cliche` but the truth will always set you free. I've actually learned more about myself in the past several years through truth and reality.

When someone gives you constructive criticism...how do you react? Many of us are unconscious of our actions or feel that we are absolve of wrong doing. However, when our loved ones tell us something that makes us take a good look at ourselves, why is it so unappreciated for some? Is it because of pride? It is embarrassment? Shame? I know what truth means to me, but what does truth mean to you? If someone saw you spiraling downward, should that person avoid saying anything? If you are behaving badly, should it be ignored? If you are coming off angry and snap at people, should it just be tolerated?

Please school me!
