The Truth Always Hurts

Some people say "Blood Runs Thicker Than Water"....

Sometimes they are wrong - dead wrong. That's the reason why families have their own family feud. Because they let it happen. Especially when a wrong is not righted. Especially when the people who did wrong feels no remorse, no guilt at the hurt that they inflicted on those who supported them without any expectations in their whole life. Deep down, they know it is wrong. But they hide such Truths from themselves, afraid to face the fact that they have changed for the worse.

Maybe and only maybe when tradegy strikes, only they will realised how wrong they were before. But by then, it probably will be all too late.

How important it is never to assume that family will always be there, will always forgive even if you do something wrong, that they can sacrifice for you just because you deem yourself important to them.

Parents always readily suffer in silence, because their love for their children knows no boundaries. And some selfish children take this to their advantage, refuse to acknowledge the hurt that they cause - thinking that they have done right.

Forgetting the people who matters most - the people who supported us no matter what, picked us up when we fell, who sat up all night beside our hospital bed worried that we are uncomfortable or in pain, people who taught us about how to be a better and stronger person in life.

Sadly, some parents will still suffer in silence even until their passing. By then, no amounts of sorries would be good enough. Parents are not here forever.

Such people are big disappointments in life - to the people who love them and also mainly to themselves. Somehow they evolve to be someone who keeps making mistakes, who keeps hurting others. They become selfish, self centered, ignorant that pretense creates more hurt.

Harsh? The Truth unfortunately is usually Harsh and Very Ugly.

And the Truth cannot be changed. Today, I seeked the Truth. I had hoped that I was wrong. And that redemption was still possible. It isn't. That now is the Ugly Truth.
