RE: Sam’s Hangout #112 - “HONESTY OR HARMONY?”

Very deep and thoughtful topics to treat. And honestly, I can't wait to read our different opinions about it.

1. I remember one of those Sundays school I attended while I was still growing up and we were told there's nothing like half-truth and white lie 🤥. A lie is a lie, and the truth is the truth, a lot of argument was up then, some were like you can decide to not say the truth and at the same time not tell a lie.... We humans sha 😂😂

So, now about telling the truth even when it hurts, I believe some truths must be told. The truth even though it hurts at times as proven to save people from some deep pains they could have fallen into if they were left unsaid. I knew something about a young lady some few years ago, and I couldn't just bring myself to tell her husband about it, they were newly married and I cant be the one to destroy the home. Even though I kept quiet about it till now, something inside of me Keeps telling me i should have just let the man know, my way of approach should just be very calm and matured, just that I don't know how he will take it on his end too. The man really deserves to know, such a caring and lovely guy he is, but then I couldn't bring myself to talk.

1. For this, I as well agree that some truths are better left unsaid. Yea, when we do our calculations and go back and forth in our thoughts and it's very obvious that such truths if said can destroy, damage, and mar a person, business or a relationship then its best to just keep silent.

While in school, there's this woman that sells provision and stuffs, her husband works in another state, so he's rarely around. But each time the man comes, he do get things for us, we joke, play whit and ludo and the likes, he's a free person, not the type that you know... At times we sit the whole day with her wife in shop and he's less concerned, that's the level of trust he has in her, but we knew this woman is cheating. Most of us knew. I never talked to her about it though, and nobody said anything to her husband, even if nothing happens to the marriage, with how much the man loves his wife, he might develop heart attack or something on that spot if he knows.

In short, this woman herself later ended things with the guy, they didn't fight, but she just thought about it and she knew her man does not deserve that which she's doing. I'm not saying silence will always bring peace, and if it does it won't last, the best thing a person can do is to change from their wrong ways. If you say the truth about something, apologize for it, if you're forgiven, then don't go back into that thing again.
