Truth is a two edged Sword

As a young and idealistic person often I hurt people unknowingly with the truth. I worshipped the truth thinking that it was the be all end all of everything.

However, in my 20s I began to see that one must be very careful with the truth because it both kills and maims but also can heal in different situations.

So, I began to see that depending upon the person some people could handle the truth and some couldn't and likely never would be able to.

You have to be Very Brave indeed to face the full truths of your life no matter who you are.

I was very attached to being young and active and relatively invincible so by my late 30s I was starting to face the end of my youthful ways.

But, then God helped me by almost killing me at 50 which is one reason why I'm still alive at 77 years old.

Why? 

Because I needed to slow down enough to stay alive until now for my wife and family and friends.

And I had to give up being afraid of losing my youth to old age.

and instead accept that I was going to die eventually and to learn to prepare to die.

Strangely enough, being prepared to die and accepting it actually increases your lifespan if you are at peace with God.

So, maybe the ultimate truth is: "We all are going to die!" It's just a matter of when for all of us.

So, maybe this is the ultimate truth that we must face at some point. 

I didn't need to face this until I was 50 which likely was a good time for this.

I think truth is a two edged sword and people should be aware of this as soon as possible.

The truth can kill people or it can save people (either one or both at the same time).

So, be careful sharing the truth with people because they might not be able to survive the full truth about anything or anyone.

So, if you love people you have to maybe treat them sometimes like they are children you want to see live to old age?
