"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.
