What are the consequences of insisting on telling the truth? | My Bad Habits
Long, long ago, adults told me that telling the truth is a virtue. In my literary youth era, I read the "Truth Collection" by the famous writer Mr. Ba Jin by chance. At that time, just after the Cultural Revolution, the old writer suffered various tortures for ten years. Having said a lot about the horrific state of collective madness and collective lies, I have learned a little bit more about human nature in extreme situations, and I have gradually developed a straight-talking mindset.
I like to tell the truth, because I understand that lying is too difficult and troublesome, and it adds pressure to conceal the truth or tell lies for no reason, and it may not be good for improving the status quo.
When I was young, I was praised by some teachers and supervisors for my outspokenness. I dared to say what others dared not to say. Later, I developed to hold injustice for the public. I reported the unreasonable things in the society in the newspapers, and wrote that people dared to be angry. The situation of daring to speak was once supported and encouraged by many friends. This made me dare to speak and write more, thinking that I really have freedom of speech and no worries.
Of course, that is quite an idiot idea. In fact, I overestimated the minds of others, and overestimated the wisdom of the people, and I also forgot that the Chinese have two very important lessons: "A gun hits the first bird" and "The one who kills the king and the horse is the other side." , when your popularity gradually increases, and the more people openly applaud your bold behavior, the more tragic you tend to end when you think you're doing the right thing. On the surface, I dared to speak and write anything, and no one would publicly refute me, but in fact, all kinds of throwing knives, dark arrows, mace, and poisons that I never expected were completely useless. Compassion made its debut . The lessons I have learned are the internal and external injuries after the full attack of the above items, as well as some legacy poisons that will never dissipate. The reason why I didn't die is entirely because of my good luck, in fact, in some In the eyes of people, I have been treated as a dead person early in the morning. I'm middle-aged, and after a few calamities, of course I'll understand that telling the truth may just be a bad habit.
Recently, I have started to reflect, telling the truth is not bad, but it depends on who the other party is, the background of the times, and the current situation. If the above conditions are not met, in fact, some principles need to be changed, and it is absolutely not advisable to stick to the rules. When you find that people don't like listening to the truth, then don't say it, keep silent, walk gently, save some effort, there is nothing to insist, because even if you insist, the other party will not listen to you, Why bother with this!
In the face of civilized people, of course, you can communicate frankly and reason more. It's a pity that sometimes we only meet barbarians with glass hearts, or they can't help themselves, and they have to bury their conscience for certain interests, otherwise they can't get along. At this time, we should not expect to be persuaded by our own civilization. Anyone, look at things from a different angle, a gentleman does not stand under a wall of danger, try to find a safe position to quietly protect himself, and don’t let yourself fall into a predicament that is targeted and unclear just for the sake of telling the truth , that’s not the case. better?
The times are so bad, the good words of gold and jade are not worth mentioning. If you really don’t feel unpleasant, then try to cut carefully, hide the truth, revise and retouch, and write it in Matt City to share with you, which can not only improve bad habits, There is also a chance to earn some Likecoin, which seems to be more beneficial than being open-mouthed!
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
