People are so fragile, even a word can be like a knife twisting.

Somedays I just want to be blunt to people, but I know they're too weak and would break down and crumble.

The hard truth is better than a sugar-coated lie...  so I'd say be blunt... be hurtful... but be real.

You'd be under the fire as well.

As soon as a floodgate is open, the waters are unprejudiced and unmerciful.

I welcome the fire and the flood of unprejudiced and unmerciful dialog...  it may hurt, it may scar, but at least it'll be real.  There's too much sugar-coated bullshit in life as it stands...  :\

You forget that the pain and loss is also real. And that some things can't ever be recovered from.

Some things can't be recovered from, and things can't be unsaid once they're said...  but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be said. If you have a problem with someone, or something going on, it's better to be open and honest about it then bottle it up and build resentment towards them or it.  It may hurt, it may sting, it may never go away... but at least it's honest.

Isn't "better" subjective?

And isn't your viewpoint only based on your suffering alone? What if your entire life is just based on something arbitrary and actually will make all interactions worse.

Everything's subjective, when you break it down. :P  
But you're right... that is my personal opinion and viewpoint, one viewpoint of many, many other viewpoints.

Truth is that we all have skeletons on our closet we don't tell others about... things that may not be the best if others heard it for fear that interactions get worse or cease altogether.  My life has been tarnished due to a small mistake from half my life ago ... for the rest of my days, it will be on record and haunt me everywhere I go.  It makes going on a whole lot less worth it without those around to be supportive... but being someone who regrets waking up every day with the knowledge that his life will never get better, will never get over the hump that it used to be.... I can safely say that I'd prefer the truth, no matter how much it broke my heart or spirit..  but that's just me..

The only way to get over that, is to open and bare about everything. All things, the question is...could you or anyone do that for that matter.
Pawpy

Depends on the situation... my case, those closest, who were around at the time, know it all... and those interested are more than welcome to know.  
But it sounds, at least from the journal title, that there's some things you'd like to get off your chest with others, and that's the thing I think should be focused on.  If you have something you'd like to say to me, hurtful or not, I'd like to hear it... like to discuss things so we can both be on the same page...  truth and honest...  :3  *licks da Hawusal* <3

I could do that, in the end though it wouldn't matter much. All I have to say is about shallow people and those that have built their lives on stilts then hypocritically abuse those who truly care about the relationship.

Honestly, I'm in between. Bluntness is the only way some people can get things through their heads. At the same time, it's very possible to be blunt without attacking. It's a fine line and so few people know how to skirt it.

The problem with fine lines is that even the best will fuck up and wreck other people's lives irreparably.

Well if its actually true and not a spiteful exaggeration

well, words hurt a whole deal more when coming from someone you value :V


and yeah, truth can be more welcome than a sugar coated lie when said truth comes with a bit of hope in the end (hope to make it with other routes, or that not everything is a loss)
