The Truth Hurts

Pain is a very sensible thing as if you could not feel anything you would have no sense of suffering or you would burn yourself like a lepper because they feel no pain. The truth is a form of pain because the truth hurts us and not only us but the people we are around because it hits hard at the core of who we really are and what we are really like. Truth varies from person to person and in relationship with one another truth is decipherable by what is applicable to us and our own cause. Really though the truth is a hard core set of facts that govern the universe, we can accept the rules of right living and live longer or we can pick and choose our own rules and ideas as to what suits us and go our own way up the garden path to a place of uncertainty and an undiscerable future.

Sure people say that they plot and plan their lives and the path they will tread, but the truth is that you never know exactly what is around the next corner if you are doing everything according to yourself. People want things their own way but, the truth is, that unless you are suiting other people you will never get what you want, because you have to provide a service or offer goods that someone else will want to pay money for in order for you to get that money and spend it on something else for yourself, whatever that selfish idea maybe to make you happy. The truth hurts or doesn't it? This is the question OK. If I put in 8 good hours of hard labour for my $500 at the end of the day, I know what the truth is.

I paid in sweat and effort and you make money out of my pound of flesh for, yourself! my employer and I get to take home what I earnt in cold hard cash. My sweat and effort may have made you $2000 out of my productivty with your investment in human capital and I only got $500 because your business is set up to make a profit or I don't have a job if it does not. That is the truth isn't it and it hurts because my pound of effort or flesh is making you more money and I just get enough to pay my bills. You can see who the clever one is, its the employer who sets themself up with a capital fund for their business and is making a profit on their products out or your ability to distribute them or so it seems in the real world of business and finance. I guess that sometimes we just have to take a step backwards and have a good look at ourselves and see what we are actually doing and why. Am I self seeking for my own gain and reward or am I trying to serve you to be happy and you get what you want as well as I do. The system has to work out in the wash or it buckles at the seems, in other words, no give and take, no mutual balance of things and know job satisfaction.

The truth hurts, it has to because nothing in this world is free and you can't take anything out of this life that you did not put in. That is the reality of the hard core facts, those who love the truth pay a price all right, but are rewarded with the kingdom of God and heaven because they know and have worked for what the truth is and actually really is. Whether that to you is money in the bank or treasures in heaven to eternal life you have to make that decision for yourself but I am telling what I think is the truth and whether you accept that or not is once again up to you. God bless.
