When Truth is Hard to Hear

"People are often unwilling to receive hard truth about their actions. They are far more comfortable living in a lie when the truth makes them guilty."

Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

A friend of mine once said that he didn't think many people cared about him, when asked why he said that it was because they never flat out said it, or did a grand gesture of kindness. In response I said the following:

"People often don't show how they feel in obvious ways. It's in the little things they say and do. In some cases, they will remain silent, keeping their feelings hidden so as not to be overwhelmed by them. Sometimes the silence speaks louder than words ever could. But it's not always a negative message."
