Do not beat around the bush.

Have you ever come across a person who wishes to tell you something but they just wont say it without lying about it so as to make it sound better that it really is?? I guess the best thing is to just say the truth because you wont need to start hiding or trying to justify the lie. Whatever the recepient thinks about it should not really worry you because the fact remains true. It is the truth no matter how bad it sounds. One of my friends felt that by giving me a lift, people were mistaking and disrespecting him, and I knew that by listening between the words of what he had said earlier. He then came up with a story to keep me at bay which I accepted without comments but I knew the real reason. By mere coincidence, my prior mental conclusion was confirmed and it left me feeling bad that all said and done, this person couldnt just tell me the truth. It wouldnt have hurt as much as it did after realizing that the person was lying to me. Let's just learn to treat others as we wish to be treated. Straight forward and to the point, I guess I can handle the bitter truth better than I can a sweet lie.
