The Truth VS Looking Good

This topic is so huge at the Indonesian market, I mean almost all the people i knew, they do this. They prefer telling something in someway for one purpose; make that something looks very good on another's perspective. For example: i am sure everyone has done this before; people tends to say "That looks good on you!" when people that you know ask about their new outfit, although deep down in your heart literally you are saying "Oh my God, she/he looks terrible using that outfit." And we don't have the gut to say he truth. That is a very simple example, now can you imagine if that thing might blend in our culture, just because you feel bad to say the truth then the nightmare is now you don't really know when is people tell you the truth or not.

In the family level, when you are telling something to your family in a purpose to make something look good not the truth, at the end of the process it will be okay. Because its family, no matter what you do, you are still part of the family. But always remember this, once you tell your family or other people not the truth, they will create some kind like a BAD perception about yourself, and it is very hard to change that perception.

In the level of friendship, which happens a lot, almost everyday until each one of us needs a best friend. because a best friend will strike you with the truth no matter what. But in my opinion, being a friend supposedly obliged us to tell the truth. But the reality tells that our people do not do that, i am not sure that people actually avoiding conflict, or it is just a habit. But the truth is, this behavior will either hurt you or your friend.

It happens with me a lot, almost everyday, that's why I write this down. Because I feel that this behavior hurt me a lot.

Its been 2 weeks and I haven't finish this post. I think its best for me to start this blogging thing with writing my feelings and my thought and create a good title, rather than finding the topic first and i write about it. its boring.
