Say What You Need To Say

If at any time you may feel what I have to say may contradict to certain beliefs you hold, may be against the norms of our community, is more disagreeable to other pieces of information, or maybe you want to know something, by all means bring them to light!

The problem with people is they don't see the importance of telling it straight into one's face. We usually worry that we might offend the person, or may lose his trust, or that the entire friendship could be brought down in a flash. Even better, there are people who decide that they shouldn't waste their time on these things. It's humorous to see this happening now, and believe me, without any form of criticism there probably wouldn't be much progress in Mankind.

Adversity and situation usually end up making us who we are, as well as what others have to say about you yourself. But if they leave it unsaid, then it would only do you more harm than you'd expect. Without their say, you can never tell which part of you is lacking improvement. You won't know which part of you needs to be fixed, or what habits to throw out. Isn't it better to come clean about somethings that would change things positively?

It shouldn't be wrong for us to admit another's mistakes. It should also be important that WE accept our mistakes and shortcomings in order to develop a healthy character. When you balance the things they say and the things you know, you can find that equilibrium you've always wanted to achieve.

So trust me: give me your best (and even your worst) comments. Say what you want, because you may never be able to say it again. Say it loud and proud. Even if it could shatter the sturdiest of oak trees, say it. Even if it could break the hearts and minds of men, say it. Even if it could leave a profound impact on me, say it. I will listen wholeheartedly. I will take in every bit of detail you have placed. And hopefully I will come back to you with a good answer.

I know I have my faults with some of you. Some of you won't mind. Some of you wouldn't take it seriously. Some others would prefer If I shut it up. Nevertheless, let me apologize for everything. As much as apologies are over-used, it is nonetheless vital to remember that it carries good meaning when you truly mean it. And I mean well.

Yes, I know that we can't always win with the people who surround us. But nothing ventured, nothing gained I say. It's all part and parcel of life - taking risks in people. Because you can never tell when you will find someone who will have a great impact in your life. Perhaps a friend. Perhaps a relative. Perhaps a future lover. You can never know, but these people will bring great things into your life in the least expected way possible.

I expect a lot of stuff from you people, especially concerning this post too. A few of you are probably my second-greatest critics (the greatest being our own selves) and truly I appreciate your honesty. It's like a breath of fresh air. Others have their insights as well, while some others are... perhaps uncertain of what to say. Never mind about that. If you have anything you'd want to clarify, just ask. Voice it. Spit it out. Let your words flow to me. And I will see to your questions.

Cheers!
