I think the world has become too polite nowadays. Everybody seems to be too polite with everyone because of the epidemic of people getting offended. No one speaks their mind out when asked about their opinion on something fearing that they may offend or hurt someone. “Does this dress suit me?”. “Yes honey. You look amazing.” How many times are these opinions actually true?
You just recorded your song and sent it to your friend to see. Your friend may reply to you saying either , “What an amazing song!!!! So proud of you” or may reply “You need to work harder, not impressed”. The former reply may seem comforting and make you feel good about yourself but the latter reply will make you a good singer. Fake praises will only make you overestimate your talent and skills. Your friend may falsely praise you but if you upload the same song to youtube, you will not be spared from the insults and hate comments. People are often afraid of criticism and insults but it’s much better to be criticized by your friends, family and relatives instead of being criticized by the whole world.
It’s a human nature to hate the person that wakes you from your sleep and brings to you reality. People love watching their fairy tale dreams instead of facing the truth because most of the time truth is bitter, like really bitter, bitter than the soap that accidentally seeps into your mouth while bathing. Truth hurts, like really hurts, hurts more than accidentally bumping your knee into your desk. No, truth is not pleasurable. But truth is that nasty medicine that has the potential to cure your illness.
Many people don’t like to be told the truth and they even unfriend you once you start telling the truth but there are also people like me that love when people speak their minds out in front of them. You don’t have to be polite in front of me for the fear of being offensive. I think friends who falsely praise are worse than enemies. For me true friends are those friends who are not afraid to hurt me with their words.
