Tell the Truth

See, there are couples that always ask their mates to tell the truth, so that they will know what their partners are thinking of. Yes, i agree on that too. But how do you define the truth, he or she tells you everything? Or selectively? Just picking the points or facts that he or she needs to know is more then enough.

Well, i do think the first one sounds correct, but adding the second would be the best for me. I always thought telling the whole truth was the best thing because you don't have to lie. But things sometimes dont go that way, because if you tell the truth exactly, it might hurts somebody, or you might need to bare with some of the uncertainties somewhere out there. Unless, he or she asked for it.

So my point for today's topic is, Tell the truth, but selectively. Don't shout out the situation or things that you know, unless he or she asked for it.

Whats the point for telling the whole truth, i dont see any one will benefits from there, as i said, unless he or she asked for it. I am now talking about the interaction between people, not matters that deal with money, business etc etc and the list goes on and on, i am not. By telling the whole truth, you might make a simple thing turns into a complicated one. Its so simple from the beginning but you might just ruined things.

By telling the "truth", someone might just formed certain. expectation from you. They will set higher target and they thought you can fullfill his or her dream, who knows? So dont let people fomred high expectation from you, thats what i always believe, surprise always bring better results. :) But bare in mind, i am not asking you to tell lies, that is a no no. But truth as in selectively. So, how far do you agree on this, please comment.

why you cannot wait? if you are expecting it from your partner, thats is not a surprise.

surprises are like, you want to do soenthing for your partner from the bottom of your heart, no because you want some payback so anything, but you are willingly to do it without any payback.

just a simple example, you make a card for your bf, you "wasted" 3 days time without sleeping to make one. thats call surprise. is not because of the card, but the effort that he/she spend on that card, the process that matters...
