Straight Shooter

Straight shooter. What comes to mind is the guy who will tell you how it is, without sugar coating it to "protect your feelings". He breaks it down, and leaves you NOT curious, but more educated about the reality of life. NO questions, NO lies, just the facts mam.

The reality is that those who claim to "Sugar Coat" life to protect your feelings are merely protecting their own. They cant handle the way they feel after giving it to you straight. Instead they may feed you line after line, until you eventually find out, and feel completely betrayed. How on earth is that protecting someone elses feelings when in the end a mess has been created that will have universal ramifications for YEARS!

The truth hurts. This statement is true. None of us really like to hear what people really think of us. Our egos are such that they need to flourish and grow, not be devastated to the point of despair. However, the truth WILL set you free. Once we know the truth about ourselves, we can then begin to grow and become what we want to be. Or choose to flounder in the obscurity of our genetic flaws. Growing from the seeds of malcontent, takes an exceptional individual.

From this point forward, before you "Sugar Coat" life, think about whose best interest you are serving. Living a lie imprisons you into an ideology that is based on fear and deception. Once we can stand up and are honest with our peers and loved ones, we will find it easier to be honest with ourselves. Somewhere in this brain of ours exist the person who we are supposed to be. Find that person, and leave the person we have been conditioned to be, behind.
