People can be so hypocritical when it comes to telling the truth. There are situations where humans desire to know the truth, and either they receive it or are lied to about it. Then there are other times where they think that they want to hear/discover the truth, when they would actually be happier not knowing, or believing a false truth. I dislike the hypocrisy surrounding the concept of truth, but it is perfectly understandable to me about why it exists. A classic example would be a girl asking a guy if an outfit looks good on her. If it doesn’t the guy could either tell her the truth and face the consequences or he could say yes and lie about it to keep her happy. The girl may desire the truth about the outfit, however most off the time, the people might just think that they want to know the truth however ignorance is bliss to them.
It is human nature to try to keep people happy, and if that means lying and not telling them the truth, then so be it. The people that are brutally honest usually get a bad reputation in society because others view them as being mean and cruel, because they are not censoring their thoughts. They just say what comes to their mind, leading to them being very blunt and honest. It might be human nature to survive, which is why people deceive others when it comes to the truth. People don’t want to hurt others or burden them with reality, so instead they tell false truths to help others survive in today’s world as best as they can. However much society would like to believe that they are truthful, in reality by believing that is just adding to the lies surrounding truth, and is proving human nature to be very hypocritical and cowardly because they don’t want to own up to what life actually is.
