Truth and Nothing but Truth

Paulo Coelho tweeted, “Telling the Truth and making someone cry is better than telling a Lie to make someone laugh.”

This thought has been on my mind since I read it. Somehow I find it very easy to follow as it means a life without any pretense, without any stress of planning, “What to say.”But I feel in 24 hours I shall have nobody around me to say anything, because we are all living in a world of PRETENSE. All our relations whether in family or friends or office are based on keeping a diplomatic silence on many issues. In the present world, I cannot think of even one person I can share “Whole truth and nothing but Truth”. This can be due to fear on my part to lose all that I hold dear or it can be complete faith that there is nobody around me with whom I can share my all thoughts. And I am very sure this holds true for all. In fact being a mathematics person I can easily apply law of Mathematical Induction and say that this statement cannot hold true for anybody living in this world. In the present scenario half the time we are not even telling truth to ourselves let alone anybody else.
