Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Let's dive into today's topic.
Yes! Truth is indeed a bitter thing, and it hits differently when it touches our hearts. There are some people who, if we tell the bitter truth about them, will feel we are lying, thinking we are jealous of them or we don't want what's best for them, which is not true. We have some people who feel the earth rotates because of them, and the ego and pride they have are more than what people can say, but if we tell them that their ego and pride are too much, that they should at least try to reduce or control it, they will think it's because we are not like them; that's why we are jealous. But within themselves, they know what people are saying about them is true, but they won't want to accept it because it will affect them.
I read a story about a billionaire who is arrogant and loves to show how rich he is; even his friends used to tell him that the way he used to talk to people anyhow was not proper and that his pride was getting too much. Deep inside him, he knew they were right, but because he was rich, he didn't bother to accept the bitter truth about him.
Yes! People do tell me a painful truth about myself, and the painful truth is that they said I love to show sympathy so much that they pray that the sympathy won't put me into too much trouble. Deep inside me, I know they are telling the truth, but I can't help it, If I see that someone needs my help or if I see that someone is hungry, I can't help but show my sympathy to them. I know they are looking out for me, and what they said is the truth, but I just can't accept that my sympathy will get me in trouble one day. Sometimes I feel bad and sad that they are right, but I don't agree with them.

Also, I was told that I love to shout, which is true; any slight mistake I will shout. Even my brother used to tell me that I love shouting, but I don't agree with him, even though I know he's right and he's telling the truth, but I just don't want to give him the satisfaction that what he said to me is right. Though when he used to tell me or when my friends told me, I used to feel bad and sad, but I just don't want to accept the truth, thank God I am already accepting my bitter truth when I see they are right and trying to look after me.
Like I said earlier truth is bitter for some people especially when they know they are looking out for them, but because they don't want to accept it they will just ignore it so that it won't affect them.
