It’s one of the hardest things you can do in life; it causes fights, hurts people’s feelings, and causes people to see the reality they’ve been hiding from. At the same time it pulls people together, strengthening relationships and gaining respect. Telling the truth can be scarier than anything else; it’s hard to know which way it’s going to go. It’s an important decision people have to make in life, but in the end it’s usually for the best. Living a life of lies is far from being happy. The truth may sting for a moment, but when looked at in the long run it benefits a person. It will help teach lessons that may have never been learned and makes a person stronger.
Troublemakers are the opposite of truth-tellers. Troublemakers will say things to cause debate or problems; they like to stir things up. What they’re saying is not the complete truth in a situation. They may tell part of the truth, but then spin it to make it more controversial. This may cause people to fight and disagree with one another, but this is not always a bad thing. It gets people thinking about something they might not have ever before. It puts people out of their comfort zone and into a situation they may have wanted to avoid before. This is how people learn to form opinions on a subject. Although troublemakers may seem to cause more problems than anything else, they also help people to learn and grow.
People are not either a truth-teller or a troublemaker, people are both and some more so than another person. It is nearly impossible to tell the truth 100 percent of the time. Everyone has been a troublemaker at some point in their life. Glenn Beck is great example of being both. He likes to stir things up, get people thinking. Some of the things he says cause much controversy. He is not afraid to debate things that most people won’t talk about, like religion and politics. He will voice his opinion loud and clear, though it may not always be right. Beck is also a truth teller; he will tell of things exactly how they are. Recently he has been talking about the shooting in Arizona. People have been trying to come up with reasons to why Jared Lee Loughner did what he did. They want to blame it on something, the government, Atheists, or people who think differently than the norm. Glenn points out that no one is to blame but Jared Lee Loughner himself. No one else made him decide to go to that store and shoot those people; he thought of the idea and made himself do it. People may not want to believe this; it’s easier to blame someone else for a person’s wrong doings. This kind of truth may sting for a bit, it may take some time to accept it. In the long run the truth will be better than trying to blame and cause more problems.
