Honesty and truth should supersede convention and custom (#1779)

Life is really too short to have obstacles to understanding being prioritized over facts. I know that there are times for sensitivities when the naked truth needs some time for it's discussion but nevertheless, we will not advance as a species if we keep allowing for falsehoods and myths to be extolled as truths. Life is hard enough to figure out for all of us without us strategically making it less logical. I know there will always be a buffer in how we evaluate the connectivity between our reasoning and our emotions, but the fact that both, care and wonder live simultaneously within us should also be a challenge to us to perfect that bond with the least amount of subterfuge. I posit that compassion and curiosity are two of the three natural instincts within us but the third instinct is survival. For most of us all three are of equal value and should never be subordinate to each other. So if some reality is thought to be so difficult as to express some fear of someone losing their will to live we must be careful in how we deliver the truth, not in diminishing it from it's truth. The delivery must be well thought out, not changing the result. Like I said, at times a period of time must be allowed as a factor but not replacing facts. We endure as a species despite the worst of scenarios that befall us because we know that nothing is horrible all the time. There is always hope within us for our dreams and aspirations regardless of reality. Keeping ourselves at the forefront of what the truth is allows all of us to be in the same understandings without confusion or illusion as distracting factors. The keener we are in knowing the truth of our surroundings and the actions taking place within them the quicker and smarter our decisions to proceed will follow.
