Why in the World Would you like the Truth?

"The truth may set you free, but first it will make you miserable," Jim Davis once said, so honestly why should you even try in the first place?

I often ponder...

I often ponder why everyone one is constantly in a depressed mood?

Are they struggling in some way, are they pleagued with a poor attitude?

I also wonder why us as a people are so critical,

Must we always point out the faults of others to show how much more we know or to show to them how pitiful?

In the case of poor Orante, whose sonnet was excellent,

Others did not think highly of it.

Yet Orante "maintain[ed] [that his] sonnet was very good," to no end,

Failing to fall into the trap Alceste had laid Orante to fall in.

He is one of the brighter cases I've seen,

And I hope that others catch on to his upbeat and exultant scheme.

My friends, this is what our world has come down to,

Lying has taken over our society, allowing us only to follow suit.

Some acquaintances of mine seem to think it best to “speak plainly,” for they “can stand it, [and] beg you to be frank.”

But I, on the other hand think that this is foolish and does nothing but put your head on a steak.

Why would anyone want to make someone unhappy by telling the truth,

When they could tell a simple fib and save them the pain and gain the trust of the youth.

Telling the truth could even get one into trouble,

So why risk it and endanger yourself, when there is no need to hold yourself responsible.

Now my friends I am not saying to be reckless and not care with everything you do,

But in the case of the truth I say, forget, and let lying help you get through

You are wrong, there are still good people out there.

We are given the choice constantly to be fake or fair.

Just because dishonesty seems the easier choice,

I mustn’t abandon my values and instead raise my voice

against the injustice surrounding our people

who’ve been led astray by the rich and fickle.

Not everyone agrees with your view on society,some yearn

To break the cycle of lies and return

To the humble beginnings of human life

Before we were shaken by riches and vice.

I agree that in some cases lies are the best option

But only when your counterpart will not benefit from your refutation.

In short, your take on society is correct for the most part

But we are not powerless and I, for one, refuse to fall apart.

Some wonder “how else are people to behave?”

But honesty proves incredibly easy for the brave.

[philinteted-blog]

 Now I can see what point you are trying to make,

But isn't your philosophy to follow the rules society gives us, and not to stray?

I ask you, is lying not the trend that society has given us these days?

To tell the truth is to seal your fate, to give an excellent opportunity to harm the ones you love.

Yet if you find away around the truth to save them from the hurt, it wouldbe considered a blessing from above.

I ask you once again my friend,

Is it better to hurt those you adore or tell a simple lie and be joyous to the end?

[philinteted-blog]

In this wonderful and insightful song by Jason Aldean,

He begs and pleads for the one whom he is talking to to lie and never tell them what he actually means.

He implores to say almost anything but "just don't tell them all the truth,"

He even goes on to admit that he "is asking you to lie," proving that this is the way of life no matter how uncouth.

In many ways this song is like our lives,

Describing how we all should learn to thrive.

With only the pure and undisturbed truth we would all perish,

Sending us into a hell-hole of lies that went uncherished.

Once again Snow Patrol has spoken straight to my soul

With beautiful lyrics that inspire me to change society as a whole.

I wish everyone could hear this song and open their eyes

To the hypocrisy and hatred that comes with lies.

If only Alceste could turn away from Celimene 

She fails to see the significance of his anti-fake regimen.

Overall, this is an amazing song that helps me cope

With society’s flaws that tend to destroy any hope,

Of a life free from the imperfections of human nature,

A life that encourages honesty over stature.

[misscongeniality1622]

Sister dearest, it seems as though all of this is an act,

just to see how much attention you can attract.

You say honesty “‘Tis a virtue rare indeed..”

 But this belief is not always the driving factor of every deed.

It’s not my fault you think I’m fake,

And maybe someday you’ll realize your accusations were a mistake.

Alceste is a grown man and can stand up for himself,

And I think it’s time you starting worrying about yourself.

So dear sister, leave me out of your generalizations about society,

Because its not just me who’s at fault, the blame can be spread to a variety.

 Ladies, ladies now must we really fight?

Bicker and interrogate each other about who is wrong or who is right?

No of course not, for it is selfish and petty,

Because both of you ladies are creative along with bright and pretty.

Why must you bash each other so,

When it is clear that you both have intellect which shows.

Now one might not agree with what the other is thinking,

But this does not mean that you should criticize and castigate what your counterpart is saying.

All in all can we try and get along,

So we might have some peace in this world where we all belong.

From this rather insightful article, we can all see that I am right,

That always telling the truth isn't ever the right thing to keep one on the striaght path of light.

We have learned from this source that lying is not only important, but vital to our society,

Showing that without it, we could not function properly.

Those who "wish that [honesty] was more contagious," must read this at once,

For if they don't, I feel that it could lead to the lack of self proficiency and intelligence.

Eminem is a true inspiration for me as he should be for everyone. Eminem is sincere and brutally honest to everybody, and in the song Cleaning Out My Closet Eminem is even very honest about his mama and his papa. Eminem does not try to appease his parents, no, “rather than ignoring [their wrong doings], [Eminem] strenuously criticizes [his parents] for them”in a song for the whole world to hear. Eminem talks about how his mom mistreated him, about how she did drugs, and about how she never really played the role of his mother. Eminem criticizes his dad who left when Eminem was very young. Many people would be offended if their parents were spoken of like this, but Eminem is so honest that he speaks the horrible truth even about his parents. Eminem did not diss his parents just to get recognition, Eminem dissed his parents because he truly had this hatred of them inside him. When I listen to this song it makes me sad because Eminem talks about such sad things and I know they are true because he is so honest. Thats why I so greatly admire Eminem, because he is so honest, and I’m sure Eminem “wishes no place in a dishonest heart,”but Eminem I can assure you my heart is certainly not dishonest.

 My dear friend Alceste, I do agree that Eminem is an excellent rapper,

But did you ever consider that he is doing this to get richer or how they say "make paper?"

I feel that his honesty could be somewhat true,

But he could also be using his ridiculous and obscene lyrics to mesmerize you.

I know not of his true intentions, good or bad, simply because I am not him.

Yet as Eminem says himself, ""A lot of my rhymes are just to get chuckles out of people. Anybody with half a brain is going to be able to tell when I'm joking and when I'm serious."

But I trust you can tell, for I know you are smart,

That what Eminem is saying isn't from his heart.

[misscongeniality1622]

For me, being popular comes easy,

But for many others its not so breazy.

If the latter applies to you,

Read this article, and i guarantee you’ll have a break through!

Although you can never reach the same level of popularity as me,

If you read what the article has to say you’ll get a close as can be!

 Now Celimene, is it really important to you to be famous?

Does it really help you in the world if everyone knows what your name is?

And what if doing so hurts those dear to you?

Will you continue even if they will not want to interact with you?

I beg you Celimene, as one exuberant friend to another,

don't hurt the ones you love to become popular.

What is love...baby don't hurt me (with the truth)

In my experiences as a lover throughout my time,

I've noticed that the truth is much harder to express in a loving rhyme.

For if one were to always tell the truth it would be quite lamentable,

hurting their spouse's feelings in any way possible.

My dear friend Alceste seems to think that "[he'd] have them be sincere,"

Yet he knows not of the heartbreak that this would cause those he holds dear.

He thinks that one should "never part with anything that isn't from the heart,"

insisting that lying corrupts a man and that one and the truth should never part.

Loss of Love

Alceste told me today that he can not love me,

For it would just be a shattered shell of he.

In response I took it how i should, “Your argument’s well taken:

Nor shall you fear that I shall feel forsaken.”

I do have someone who has said he fancies me,

And if sincere, then together we can be. 

[philinteted-blog]

Oh Eliante, please forgive my harsh-worded friend,

He believes that truth will help to no end.

Forget his blunt and vulgar notions,

For he can not quite grasp the conviction of ones' emotions.

Eliante I do fancy you, but if you choose to be with Alceste, I won't hinder you.

But just know that if you don't want him I will step in, I insist,

I would be pleased to become your second best.

The truth...?

I sometimes wonder why people are so bent on telling the truth. I mean, does intentionally going out of your way to tell the truth actually make you a better person, even if it hurts another? I certainly don't feel this way. A certain friend of mine constantly complains about my...sugar-coated way of thinking, (some may even call it lying), yet I keep saying that "these faults of which you so complain are part of human nature, I maintain." He's very kind but he is very truthful, and i fear this could get him into trouble. I keep reminding him that "in certain cases it would be uncouth and most absurd to speak the naked truth," but he just doesn't seem to listen. Sometimes I wonder about these wonderful thing we call friends.
