Truth
Okay. So I'm reading this book called East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I'm not prepared by any means to talk about the book, but I do want to talk about this one quote that I adore.
An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie.
Read it a few times, and think about it.
Alright, so now I got you thinking. Or at least I hope I did.
I can think back to so many situations in my own life where somebody didn't believe me when I was telling the truth. Some of those times, it hurt. A lot. It stung deep down. When someone totally rejects your truth and believes that it's truly a lie... Wow, it hurts. It's got to be one of the most devastating emotions I've ever experienced. You just don't know what to say, or what to do, or how to get them to believe you... The fact that this person doesn't believe what you're saying is true...
Man.
It drives me crazy.
