All of us have prejudices. We view people and events with our opinions already formed and fixed. All of us are insecure and unsure. We tend to protect our insecurity by either falsifying the facts, or embellishing them. We are afraid we will get into trouble, or cause people to think less of us if we stand on the truth.
Some people are marvelous at speaking the truth, always and everywhere.
But without any spark of love. Much of the damage that is done to people is done because people tell the truth - needlessly. For them, the truth becomes a stick with which to beat others, not something with which to build others up. Furthermore, we cannot speak the truth in love, if we do not have the fundamental honesty to listen. The truth we seek will shine forth, in a special way, from what our brothers and sisters have to say to us.
