Bending The Truth

I guess I have never been one to bend the truth, I speak my mind. In one of my last on-line classes that I took last year the instructor told me I was tactful and he appreciated that.I was therefore nominated to put together a Power Point presentation for a group assignment. My church sermon this morning was how Jim Jones and the Guyana tragedy had come to be and ended sadly with hundreds dead. I had seen several movies/documentaries on the subject over the years; one mans way of knowing to much and twisting the truth to lead people to where he wanted him to go is all to familiar in today's society. People who are in authoritative figures are often the culprits today but not all. Doctors/dentists sexually abusing patients, police beatings, fireman starting fires, priests/pastors, yes and even presidents commit acts of deceit to the people under him. As a non-authoritative figure I chose to be mostly honest providing I do no person harm. We should not hide what is inside each of us. Lies beget more lies and in the end someone always gets hurt. Why?
So if I am fat 1- I should know better not to get into that dress that does not fit then ask,"Does this make me look fat?" 2- I feel it is the other person responsibility to say perhaps,"That does not fit you right, I think the other dress looks better on you". No one got hurt.
So the next time you see someone headed down a bad road or ready to get hurt, say something to save them the heartache. One day you may need that same kindness in return.
