Selflessness and Honesty.
Two values I know my parents wished for me to have, but two that I can't say 100% for certain I've managed to successfully instill in me; doesn't mean I lack them though.
So, what do you do when a choice has to be made that sees the two clashing?
Would you pick to tell the truth by justifying the fact that the truth will set you free, it is what is needed most in this cold cruel world BUT be known and remembered as a selfish person.
Or would you pick to be selfless,to put others needs and wants before yours, to do, in your opinion, what's best for them BUT lie right to their faces (but for their good, in your opinion, of course)?
Sometimes, the truth does bring closure, it 'sets you free'. But there are times when it just complicates and entangles the web that much more.
So, yes my dear, suck it up, or at least start learning to suck it up. The skies are never always blue, the grass never always green and as my mum used to tell me, the world will never stop spinning for you.
Just something that cropped up in my conversation with Adeline (who's back!) earlier.
Good night.
