Truth be told

Once upon a time I used to be that girl who viewed things from a hopeful perspective. I used to overlook obvious things and this was one of them. Sometimes there is no hope for relationships, whether it being a friendship or a romantic relationship. Sometimes you just have to let them go. Time and history are important, but they mean very little when relationships lack chemistry. Don't think things are going to work themselves out simply because you and someone have 'history'... It is not that simple. 

Truth vs Lies

They say the truth hurts for a while, but lies hurt forever. 
The wounds that are left after being told the truth are more severe than that of being told a lie, BUT those wounds will heal faster.
 The scars left behind after being told a lie are more noticeable than the scars left after being told the truth.

Yvette: Jody, I know you love me. I also know you fuck other girls. I don’t like it, but I know you. So just be real with me. Man, you gone be honest or what? 


Jody: If you can take it. You’re starting to get on my nerves with this shit Yvette. 


Yvette: I’m getting on your nerves? And you’re the one fucking around. You get with any of them girls you sell dresses to? 


Jody: A few. There. You feel better now? I love you, girl. You got my son and you probably gone be my wife. You want me to be honest? 


Yvette: Yeah, I do. 


Jody: You’re my woman. Them other ho’s is tricks. I make love to you, I want to be with you, but I fuck other females occasionally. I don’t know why, I just do. That’s the situation. You feel better now? That’s some honesty for yo ass. Deal with it. I love you enough to be honest.


Yvette: Jody, If you loved me, you wouldn't lie to me all the time. Move! 


Jody: Hold on. You got it all twisted up! I lie ‘cause I do love you. Being honest would mean I don’t give a fuck. Out on the street, I tell the ho’s the truth. I lie to you because I care about your feelings

****reading this dialogue just got me thinking about certain things. Is this what love really is ? Is it okay to lie to someone you love because you don't want them to feel hurt ? Or is this just a good justification for this particular situation? It is so easy to lie, but a real man will fess up, tell the truth and deal with the consequences.
