忠言,不逆耳

與神對話的作者於九月26日所分享的一段話,

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...
....that truth spoken is a gift given. Truth withheld is more
than a gift denied, it is an arrow aimed at the heart.

It has been said that "the truth hurts," but the exact
opposite is true. No truth is too hurtful , and no lie is
harmless. Because every truth opens your heart to
another, and every lie separates it.

Yet know this: The way you say your truth can be hurtful.
So speak your truth, but soothe your words with peace.

大意如下,

將心理真正的話分享出來,有如分享一份禮物,是一件有益的事。相對地,把實情隱藏起來,則會傷害到許多人。

曾有人說,事實是殘酷的,但這並不正確。事實並不會傷人,而謊言卻一定有傷害性。真相會打開你的眼界;謊言則會遮蔽你的雙眼。

闡述事實的方式有很多,所以,用更適合、有益的方式去表達你真正的想法,避免不必要的傷害。
