I recently read a friend’s post about vagueness and the benefits of being direct. What I sincerely love is that I was just discussing this very issue with my mother. Now, my mother is a constant source of inspiration for me. Oh, she’s a nag—aren’t all mothers—but she manages to get people to talk.
By being direct.
Communication is one of the most important factors of life. Granted, some people have a problem with this—whether they think too much, or they simply want to hide everything they feel so that they don’t have to face the facts.
Life is full of vagueness and it’s full of ambiguities. Some people don’t have a problem facing the straight out facts. I’d say I’m one of these people, probably because I’ve had a bumblebee mother always there for me. Like I said, she’s a source of inspiration. She’s taught me the importance of facing the facts.
Whether it’s psychological issues, insecurities, family problems and whatnot, people shove things under the rug. The facts are ugly, life is ugly, and nobody likes to be reminded of that.
But without facing the facts… How is life life? How is anyone living? It’s all fake if life is lived without facing what’s real. The hurt, the pain, the jealousies… They don’t go away when they’re hidden, and if they’re hidden, they are built until the rug can’t hide them anymore.
Which is when the person collapses under the heavy weight of the ugly facts. And the ugly facts, believe me, are ugly. Nevertheless, they have to be confronted at one point or another.
It’s the only way we can grow.
