truth - what's the matter?

Simpleman, whosoever cannot tell a lie does not know what the truth is.
 
Truth hurts us if it is bad and truth does not hurt us if it is good. Most of us are weak and not understand what truth is really mean.

Eh, I disagree with you. I don't think we're weak so much as I we lack understanding.

Bear in mind, truth is subjective. Beowulf said it best early on in the thread. I'm not as articulate, so I'll paraphrase it. " The truth lies somewhere in the middle."

It's up to each of us to decide what we choose to believe or not believe.

Speak from myself, my lack of understanding here is consider weak especially with limited speaking english. When I first read this and I do not understand what he is trying to say here about deaf not accept truth. I am sure many of you dont understand me when I try to say something here. I speak only from what I understand. I don't mean to label ourself as weak mind, but lack of understanding.
 
"the truth is out there." *x-files eerie theme* we hardly finds the truth whenever someone wont reveal the truth because truths always changes no matter what. unless they have a heart to tell the honestly first place.

why I am seeing more Deaf people would rather spread gossip and rumor than to seek out the truth. It seems that truth no longer have value among the Deaf community.

That's because more of them wants the attention from others and act like they're all so innocents which they aren't...It seem that the smarter ones know not to fall for rumors or lies but to seek out the truth themselves...

There's alot of " hate " going around lately and sometimes your name is being brought up and most of it is not entirely true, but others don't know that, they just want to believe what they see or want to fit in a group of so call friends who believes they got each others back.... :roll:

I have noticed my name is being brought up lately in other forums, I'm not going to let it bother me cause most of it is not entirely true and also my true friends know the REAL me and know the truth, so I'm not going to waste my time on being part of any so call childlish drama , and if they want to believe this person who started it, then by all means do so then...

It is same thing in a hearing world. It is not only in the deaf world.

What you should do, is to ignore them. If you happens to know the person with the source and you can ask him is that me? and then you can discuss with that. Your friend's job is to clean up your repubations and that's mean your friend will tell the person that told your friend with the correct information. That will passes around back to the first person who spreaded the rumors. Or they will forget it in some time.
 
Just my opinion on it...there are many different types of lies and truths as pointed out in this thread. For example, the 'Does this dress make me look fat?" No guy in their right mind would tell the truth....even if we hate lying.

What is described in this thread in regards to backstabbing, etc is probably just as common in the hearing community as it is in the deaf community. I've dealt with people in the past (now ex-friends) who would lie for no particular reason...they would just make stuff up in their own fantasy world but I can't explain why.

There was a girl that used to hang out with me and some friends...she would go to each person in private and just make up gossip...She'd tell one friend that another liked them but was afraid to say anything. She also told that person that the other party was embarrassed and would deny it. Of course that person denied it and there was a lot of tension between those two. When confronted the girl, the girl said she 'got the impression' that they like each other but had no facts to back it up. When I was in radio, I had an intern that was rather attractive. She made comments to other friends that I had a thing for this intern. While the intern was fun to work with..there was nothing there but she had no basis to think we had a thing for each other, nor did she have a right to say anything about it. Again, when confronted she did the 'got that impression' from it.

It got to the point nobody wanted to hang out with her and now she's off causing similar problems with some other group....

I believe there is a deep seated cause that goes back for a number of years. I don't know if its a matter of wanting attention or what.

Exactly :roll:

Why should we upset over this person who cause the childish drama? Best is ignore them.
Yes, it's waste of time to convince them the truth because they refuse to beleive you. My honest opinion lead this person wrong head. :roll:
Yes, I realized that it's waste of time to convince this person with my honest opinoin because she/he think I'm on other's side. Should I tell her/him lie or should be pretend to be agree with her/him. No Way because I don't like be 2 faced and backstabbing. It's ME who give HONEST opinion because it's the TRUTH.

Exactly! I know what I'm saying because I work together with my hearing co-worker in the office. All what she told me all about office gossips.

Of course neighbors gossip, too...

I understand and respect your opinion.
I would not appreciate if you dishonest with me because I ASK you for your opinion what do you think of my dress? Am I fat?
Alot of Germans do like this. We are not offence when they tell us what they think of us because we ASK for it. I appreciate their honestly and need to look at me.

Look, people....thats life...people, doesnt matter whether we are hearing or deaf, we all lie/gossip!...you just cant stop them, period. You just have to learn to ignore them, thats all there is to it.
Some people whine and carry on about what other people are saying about them cuz they are too damn sensitive..you just have to learn to get over it and go on with your head up high and ignore these clods is all.
If people gossip about you that is not true, cuz they may be jealous or something, so what? what goes around, comes around and it will just hit them right back in their faces!

When I first started reading this, I thought you were telling about junior high school. But you mentioned working in radio, so I guess you weren't a kid? I remember adolescents doing that but I have never met any adults like that?! I guess that poor girl has some kind of delayed development of social skills or something. She needs help.
