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

Huhm, yea you're right and I very well understand you too.
I'm just of the opinion that certain truths are better left unsaid and withheld.
Also, the way it's been said truly matters, because I remember a man who was told something some few months ago, just recently ooo, he got to know about a thing and that was how he developed High BP, the man later died, and the other party who was involved(his wife) had continued with her life...

Also, there's this issue of a man who was told about his health status, this man was doing very well before he knows whatsup with him, but the way the doctor he visited told him of his situations and all, the man coughed right there and gave up the ghost. Even if he will have died, I'm sure it won't be that day, if the doctor has been wise enough to calm him down and tell him calmly, in very simple terms and encourage him without making him scared. It is his health, accepted but we can't always say certain things the way they are.

In as much as the manner truth is delivered really matters, I think in situations like health conditions or life changing news, wisdom, timing and emotional care should be applied. That is why Doctors are trained to present the truth in a way the patient can process it without panic or shock.

That does not mean truth should be avoided rather it should be handled responsibly. If a person is left unaware or unprepared of what or how they need to manage their health, it can sometimes cause more harm. Truth should not be delayed or withheld indefinitely. And it should not be said bluntly either.
