You know what bothers me? It's the fact that people don't seem to appreciate honesty much these days. I mean they ask about things like what's wrong with their hair, or if their clothes are just fugly, or if they got personality issues, and when you, you the designated wisdom holder, give them an answer, what do they do? They shatter in front of you! They break down! They crumble to pieces! And they pretty much feel shamed!
Most of all, they wish they had never asked you in the first place!
Unfortunately for them, some things simply can't be undone..and some harsh words simply can't be 'unheard.'
It really just seems strange that some people would have the guts to ask for someone else's (say, me) opinion about an issue that bothers them or causes them some troubles or whatever (say, a person's manner of dressing). Now, the thing is, when a person does that, what he or she is basically doing is asking for an evaluation from that person, under the belief that the latter possesses adequate knowledge or has expertise over the issue concerned. So any advise that is received must be assumed by the inquirer as given in all good faith by the person answering. Why bash the person for telling the truth? Why seek the truth when you can't even handle it? Most of all, why blame someone else for your totally pathetic insecurities that you yourself, out of your utter boredom and idiocy, generate through the meaningless drama that you believe would spice up your otherwise insipid existence?
In case you haven't heard of the classic quote: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" If you offer yourself as the slice of beef to the able chef, willing to do something about you, don't you expect to be cooked?
MORALE: Think twice before asking a person who tells it as it is; you just might hear what others aren't telling you.
