Is it better to give someone the truth when it would hurt them or choose to be kind and NOT involve them? To often we make choices that hurt other people in addition to ourselves. Do we alert the other to something that we know would hurt them? We could choose to keep our own actions under wraps and not involve another. After all, why should someone else bear the burden of a poor choice that we made?
"Honesty is such a lonely word" is a line from a popular song. I think kindness is a better alternative to honesty when it is our stuff that is at issue. If we project unto others our inner interpretations of reality then why should we inflect pain on another through honesty? Maybe we made a poor choice that we wish we could take back. So, do our own demons, need to torture someone other than us? I think not.
Thus, let the past stay in the past, and let the NOW be focused on creating the reality we want called "history". We need to deal with our own demons without inflicting pain onto others.
