Radical honesty

The earth is circle. Everything revolves. 

I was outside the box then. At some point of time in the past,I tried to make sense of a dear friend's life misery, I did try to be there for her, tried to understand her. In that pursuit while putting my point across ,my well intention were interpreted wrongly and I wasn't well received. I wasn't as understanding. 

I guess today I was exactly in that situation only here I was that dear friend who went through some life crisis sometime ago. It was just a reflective conversation that began just as any other normal conversation would but I never thought it would turn into a heart slicing hurt. Radical honesty isn't always a good thing especially when it is not politely uttered. Bluntly put, we just as any other individual in this whole wide world have no right to call anyone's action as right or wrong because given the model of the world a person lives in only he or she knows what she has been through and if there is only one person who can judge your actions that is only you.

Today that dear friend is outside the box. Her crystal clear eyes sees everything freshly and hence she made her observations and she told me .Well, having been through the situation myself and having to take that difficult decision especially when I know the implications of my reactions will leave a devastating impact on the affected party, I knew I could take her observations positively or negatively. I regard myself as someone who's always willing to consider people's point of view, to be able to put myself in another person's shoe. Well, this particular conversation I had with this dear friend, we have probably had it a few times. I guess today it was just the wrong choice of words. Words can be so hurting, can't they? And especially when it comes from a loved one, it just stings us a tad more.

Discovering my truth, I lived by it and I will stand by it because only the truth set me free. If I'm hence judged so be it.
