Bitter truths are always “for the better”, for “to be forewarned is to be forearmed”. Sweet lies do not enable people to realize their dreams.
Whether the experience of hearing is pleasant or not is completely irrelevant. Emotional “reasoning” isn’t reasoning at all. Feelings are dramatically less important than ideas and principles, for ideas are creative and empowering, and principles are useful structures by which we can hold ourselves and others accountable; while feelings are only reactive.
Feelings are not facts, nor remotely like facts. Feelings are only hormones secreted into the bloodstream in response to a thought. They are understandable, but unimportant. Feelings are not a sound basis upon which to make decisions. Rather, feelings are distractions to be dissipated through meditation, exercise, or other self-discipline.
Feelings (such as whether truths are bitter) are not to be trusted until after one has achieved self-mastery, which can only be gained by those who prefer hearing the truth. In the absence of self-mastery, allowing our feelings to drive us is akin to allowing ourselves to be chauffeured by a madman.
Whether a statement is true is all that matters. We must know the truth in order to walk effectively in the world and respond effectively to objective reality. In order to be free, yet survive, we must be capable of such effectiveness.
Lies can only be considered preferable, even theoretically, by people who are conditioned by a social and psychological milieu such as Aldous Huxley describes in his book “Brave New World”, including those who wrongly equate feelings with facts, those who prioritize feelings ahead of ideas and principles, and postmodern relativists who say “there is no truth, no objective reality”.
This is patently false. Objective reality is the only reality. Truth simply means accurately apprehending and expressing it. The rest is lies, delusion, or self-indulgence. Lies are distortions which disable. Delusions are the stock and trade of tyrants and manipulators. Self-indulgence is a weakness of character, which sociopathic manipulators use to trample our rights and freedoms.
Give me the truth, always. It belongs to the hearer to decide how to relate to it, and how to react; not the speaker to decide whether to lie.
This is a moral principle, a standard by which I hold myself and others accountable. Those who fail to meet this principle, either due to malice or apathy, make themselves enemies of their hearers who reasonably and consistently expect the truth.
On the other hand, if you self-deludingly say you expect the truth, while actually punishing truth tellers, you are sending a mixed message, and cannot hold others accountable for any error upon telling you “sweet” lies, for they only delivered to you what you showed by your actions that you require.
