THE TRUTH. {POB-WOTW}.
Have someone ever told you an attribute that you posses and it feels offensive. If so it is most likely true.
The Truth is Bitter
There is a difference between pointing out wrongs and being offensive; being corrected could feel bitter. Nevertheless, it is left for the person with the bad attitude to focus on the positive part; the correction than to take the misunderstood “insult” to heart. And also the corrector needs to talk to him putting his feelings into consideration which is sometimes hard to do when you want to tell the truth. It just has to be said the way it is, which makes it bitter.
No matter how we try not to hurt those we love by telling the truth, sometimes it still comes out bitter because it would probably push them to watch or change there acts or behaviors towards someone or something.
Relationships and Truth
In relationships when we tell the truth to our spouses about a repeated behavior, we feel scared because it might hurt them. But if the truth is not out, the love is not genuine and their will not be growth. Making people know how you truly feel about their actions or attributes could result to a bitter feeling but it would create a better bond.
The Truth will set you free
As much as it is bitter, it is liberating; the Truth. Open up... be open minded to corrections, both as the ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’ of the Truth. It sets the mind free and facilitates a healthy relationship. It just has to be said in a resp ectful way; that is, without making looking judgmental, insensitive and spiteful.
*How I channel the bitterness
Times I’m corrected and it kinda gets to me, I tell myself that this feeling shouldn’t crush me. When you are being corrected, you just need to forgive yourself and be better. It wouldn’t kill you but make you overcome something stronger. This is how I change my behavior towards the truth. Although I can be stubborn sometimes, trust me it feels painful but what comes after the bitterness could be sweet.

Everyone has one truth to tell about us.. Patiently listen and if it feels bitter just try to adjust. Sometime we know the truth about ourselves On a personal level but still deny it. Confront yourself and be better. Admitting you are wrong won’t kill you it just opens a new channel to discovering yourself.
A word of Advice
Bitter truth results to quick change and false truth(lies) result to destruction. Face the truth and Channel the bitter feeling towards being a person.
THE END.

Wow, while I was reading this post of yours I was just saying word!! And louder!!
Damn! You just vomited a whole lot of facts and I am touched and captivated by that.
The truth is bitter but no one likes to hear it or admit it, but if we could all accept and admit it, it makes us change to become better individuals.
Thanks for this write up, your truthful and factual words will forever stay in my heart. 😍😎🤗

Thank you 😊
This is a deep discussion of the truth. Sometimes sometimes, when the truth is told, the fact that the person saying it is younger, less educated or less richer than the person it’s been said to might create anger.
Trust me, it happens to everyone even when a part of you is convinced that what was said is really the truth.
Now it takes humility to drop what ever ego and subject to the truth, and yes it will always set you free.
Thanks for this wonderful message brother
Thanks so much brother and I must say, putting aside ego to listen to the truth would bring peace. Thanks so much for sharing.
This post is very rich in what seem to be bitter but the truth. Many people don't really like being told the truth. I appreciate the fact you told it with so much vigour.
