People don't want honesty.

Not really.

No. They want something that will bring them comfort, something that will put them at ease and make it so that they don't have to blame themselves or make it so that they don't have to worry about anything other then themselves and their comfort. It's...sad.

There's things more important than the truth.

[theironlyson.livejournal.com]

To humanity there is. To people on a personal level there is but in the end the truth is what needs to be heard.

Who did you upset?

[notacaveman.livejournal.com]

It's great that you assume I upset one. I don't walk around all day looking cute and upsetting people, Ally.

I'm just assuming you're basing your statement on recent experience. For the record, it depends on the circumstance. Not every truth is uncomfortable to hear. You're not always going to have upset someone.

[magicalmishaps.livejournal.com]

You're sadly correct, I think.

[notacaveman.livejournal.com]

I don't know it's necessarily sad. I'd say the intention defines the sadness quotient.

[magicalmishaps.livejournal.com]

I find it unfortunate that people find so little to like in reality. Unfortunate on two fronts, actually.

Why do you think that?

[notacaveman.livejournal.com]

I was reading a study in The Globe. Or was it Gazette.

It wasn't in The Planet.

[solarsteel.livejournal.com]

Was it a scientific study, at least? Perry would have our heads if we put anything unverified out.

People don't know what they want. They never do.

[notacaveman.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they do.

Wants are confusing but people work it out.

[loveshissister.livejournal.com]

Hardly.
