Truth hurts!
When you love someone then you need not pretend, In fact your pretension shows a blackspot on your Love. To be faithful in love means you need to be truthful . Once you build foundation on Love then even thunder storm will find it difficult to shake it.
Most of us feel obligated by not hurting Loved ones by telling them what you feel on their face!. It takes initial roadblocks to overcome this “truth on your face” attitude but over a period of time this will be the only thing holds together.
That’s why relationship never stay warm over a longtime. Because there is no trust in relationship. TRUST is a byproduct of TRUTH. If you constantly feel the lack of trust in your relationship, May be you need to start again and this time with the help of truth.
Telling truth may hurt your loved one but then that’s the reality. Don’t back away from telling truth to your friends , children, wife, Colleagues etc,. Youw ill be doing favour for yourself and other by your act.
Meditation is art of learning the path of truth. Meditation is therapy of removing your mask and showing your original face. Meditation is the only truth.
Love
Suresh
Interesting thoughts… the truth hurts sometimes, but the truth sets us free.

SO true, But all of us it seems start pretending in ourlives, We are so afraid of loved ones leaving us that we end up in lies, Your photos are stunning but your words just pierce thru the heart. My daughter has been a great fan of you and she send me this link from Newyork, I love your amazing talent and work.
Very powerful message, Suresh!
I must admit I am doing exatly the way you write: I do tell my loved ones the truth, even if it hurts. and you know what? They are very greateful!! Afterwards
One more intresting aspect I would like to lighten up here: I experience that phenomenon of feeling myself one with the people I love the most. Feeling like one body, kind of. Feeling them being un unseparable part of me. And therefore I find it abosutely OK to tell them what I think/ feel - exactly because I would tell it to myself with the same honesty.Do you also expereince that in a similar way?
Thanks for this post. The photo is honest and raw. After seeing the photo and reading your words, I feel something “tugging” inside. I think intellectually I am honest. But when it’s really hard to be honest, it’s tougher. Thank you for reminding me to be true, regardless of how hard it can be.
Beautiful post….extremely thought provoking. Tough love is the biggest challenge of all in this marshy planet. Love reading your blog, thanks for sharing.
