The honest Man
The Honest Man
The man who seeks then speaks truth
Tends to receive abuse
From others who simply don't understand
An honest man’s point of view.
But in all reality,
When people aren’t honest with themselves or others,
The truth will, unfortunately, make a person feel smothered.
What is meant by smothered is going into defense mode,
A zone where it’s now hard to communicate
In any rational way with each other.
The honest man is many times patient
To the point that he feels he’s receiving pure hatred,
Because dishonest people feel that when they learn, they also somehow lose,
Not understanding that learning is the key that leads to truth.
Needing to remember that if I lean on them and they lean on you,
We will become stronger and smarter as a group.
