How do you choose between honesty and compassion? How do you preserve your integrity when it implies inflicting pain on somebody else? How do you bridge the distance when neither of you are willing to meet midway?
About Me
- musafir
- "A man is the history of his breaths and thoughts, acts, atoms and wounds, love, indifference, and dislike; also of his race and nation, the soil that fed him and his forebears, the stones and sands of his familiar places, long-silenced battles and struggles of conscience, of the smiles of girls and the slow utterance of old women, of accidents and the gradual action of inexorable law, of all this and something else too, a single flame which in every way obeys the laws that pertain to Fire itself, and yet is lit and put out from one moment to the next, and can never be relumed in the whole waste of time to come." Possession by A.S. Byatt

honesty and commpassion. drawing the line between the two is difficult. where does one end, where does the other begin?
sometimes, there is no such thing as meeting some one half way through. that is ofcourse the case as long as there is love, and mcp's.
I will the honesty prevails and definitely takes an upper hand..
Compassion s momentary..nt a perpetual truth..so if u r doing sumthing with compassion it may hurt the same person later...which i m sure is nt intended !!
Sumtimes honesty smothers, bt it burns all seeds of future pain..
It s a delicate balance..bt i feel tht there s a half way...the way honesty s implemented...
prat: Hmmm I don't know for sure about about not meeting midway. I guess apart from a few circumstances, there is only so much that you are willing to give.
ruler: There's a point: "the way honesty s implemented" ... my sentiments exactly. I tend to make sure I don't sacrifice my integrity and also let the person know I'm not trying to hurt them but this is how it is.
