Corruption Challenged

Why do people feel compelled to tell their friends that they like their ugly shirt? That “their hair is so cute”? That they enjoy a song that they’ve never heard? Or, watched a movie they’ve never seen?

Why?

I believe that it’s all boils down to a fear of rejection. Too often we are held in bondage by fear; that if we are honest that people will reject us.

I have found that people like and trust me more since I chose to always be honest than when I tried to say what I thought that they wanted me to say.

I began this by saying that honesty saved a life. In twenty years of watching people watch other people self-destruct I can tell hundreds of tragic stories.

I’d rather not.

Instead I’d like to repeat a story of honesty saving someone’s life.
