Truth is like a Sword. It cuts. It bleeds. It cures.

Some interviews are painful to see. They use undisputed but uncomfortable truths in form of questions.


Here, interviewer does not want to know anything. He just wants to use sword of selective truth to slain the person who may have come to bare his soul.

Truth is cruel.

Gandhiji says, when we face the truth, it increases our endurance. We become more sober. We learn to live with truth.

And yet, we are afraid to face many truths about us.

We think that know one knows. We think that no one will ever know about it.

But we know this truth. It remains permanently hidden in some part of us. We ignore it. But it never goes.

I have seen that Truth has killed many people. It have seen that it has liberated many people. I have seen that deliberate lies have saved many lives.

I can conclude only this much. Truth has an edge. It cuts like a sword or a knife.

This is a weapon. How and when we use Truth and for what purpose we use it, it all makes us or breaks us.

Some day, I will begin by admitting negative truths about me.

To admit to ourselves, our sins, seems the way forward.
