What do you think?
Is it better not knowing the ugly truth and pretending it doesn’t exist?
Or, is it better to confront the naked truth, knowing that its knowledge may be an albatross that you carry around forever?
Just A Question….

That is a tough one, and I really couldn’t have a standard answer. I think it depends on the situation. It’s like if I only had a short time to live would I want to know? I can’t even answer that one.

Not when it involves the abuse of children, the disabled, animals or elderly it’s better to know.
Also when dating or getting involved romantically.
Be aware of the red flags. Way too many people ignore red flags and wind up broken or sent to an early grave.

Am the type to pretend nothing has happened but I do think confronting the naked truth is the best idea.

Always the truth to know what you are dealing with.

I’d say it’s far better to know the truths that confront you so you can face them and either learn to live with them (like the albatross) or change them so their affect on your life is lessened.

I’d opt for the truth too for ‘the truth shall set you free’ to face the reality of what is 🙂

Truth always wins out in the end. Best to face it, I’d say. Interesting question, J. The answer is not so easy for everyone.

IMO, it’s best to confront the ugliness head-on, otherwise, there will be no resolve.

Ya know…everyone always says it is better to know the truth. Sometimes it is heart crushing. Sometimes it is life changing, and not for the better. Some things should never be shared.

It’s better when you’re able to confront the naked truth. No matter how bad it is, Silence is not the solution. Ignoring the truth is another form of denial. It’s the worst thing you can do to yourself if trying to make amends & heal from your past.

I prefer the truth but there have been times in my life I enjoyed living the lie (because of the pain of the truth) if that makes sense.

It totally makes sense and if we are truthful, I bet there have been times in our lives when we’ve hidden our heads in the sand to avoid facing reality. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I think as an adult, it is always better to know the truth. Even if it hurts.

I definitely prefer the truth even if it’s painful. It’s better than finding out that one has been lied to over a long period of time.
