Should friends tell each other the Truth?

It's strange living in this country sometimes. Everyone is so indirect about stuff. I can't tell if someone likes me or they are just being friendly. I wish I was psychic or something. Or had some kind of mind-reading machine. Just plug in and zap. I know exactly what the other person was thinking.

I also don't understand how some friends cannot warn me about a person whose intentions are not honorable.

I guess it's partly because the friends are being protective or maybe they think that the truth will affect our friendship. Or maybe they didn't think it was important. Anyways, shouldn't that have been up to me to decide?

I think there are some things that should be told even if it's bad news or leads to disappointment. Fortunately, someone else told me the Truth.

Disappointment is part of life and life is too short to get hung up on disappointing people. There are millions of them out there.

And yes, I still consider my friends as friends. Their intentions were good. I just think that the Truth would have been better.
