Scar Lingers




"The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have
a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. They erode 
our strength, our self-esteem, our very foundations."
Cheryl Hughes

It is the nature of my character to forgive a betrayal or hidden truth, if it is voiced now with  the opportunity to be honest.  If the choice is to remain silent and I later give witness to the lack of  integrity, trust is broken and I will distance myself.

It would seem I have the tendency to try to understand the scenario that caused a person's lack of judgment.  There is a willingness for me to stand in his or her shoes to better understand what prompted said action.  

Ultimately, I focus on the ability to be truthful, rather than the information being shared. I am disheartened by the trivial misdirections and hidden agendas when there has been no reason to do so.  Forgiveness comes easily, but the scar on my heart lingers, indefinitely.
