The strange thing that doesn't make sense

"It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense." - Mark Twain

Let me start by asking the most important question: do you think that there is such a thing as absolute truth or just versions of it, as truth is different for everybody, making it a subjective concept? In a legal sense, of course, there is a truth, you are asked to speak, "the whole truth, nothing, but the truth, so help you God". But I'm asking about everyday truths, what defines our lives and reality, who we are and what we do.

Could we even live in a world where there is nothing else, just the absolute truth?

A very dear friend of mine, said a very insightful thing about the truth a long time ago, and it sticked with me, as it is the best advice I've gotten about speaking the truth: telling someone the truth only makes sense if that person can truly understand the truth he is being told. The logic behind it is, that we shouldn't tell the truth just for the sake of it, as we can do more harm than good, acting for the wrong reasons. In my opinion telling the truth just to get something off your chest and not considering how this may affect the other person, is a wrong reason.

For telling someone the truth, has the same catch as everything else in life: as Robin Scherbatsky said it in How I Met Your Mother "Timing... but timing's a bitch.". So we wait or we should wait, if it is appropriate, and time it carefully and maybe, just maybe, we get it right.

Don't get me wrong, I am vehemently against lying. There is no double standard about this, no excuses: a lie is a lie, period. But sometimes not telling the truth, the whole truth, is the best solution for the moment. And we do have to accept, that people have different understanding of what is the truth, because we are humans, and we are looking at this crazy world trough different eyes. 

Let's do our best to tell the truth, time it as well as we can, and hope for a favorable outcome! I really think that this is all any of us can really do: do our best.
