In life we are advice to be ourselves, to be authentic and be real but it could be the hardest thing to do for many, because we have this desire to be accepted by everyone, although that could be impossible, there's still those people whom we can't please. Are you true to your self and to others? What would it be life if people were all true?

I can say yes, I am true to my self. We can't please evrybody, what is important is that I am not trying to be someone else and it would be very difficult to be someone else. If all people are true, maybe there would be no misunderstnading in this world. Each one of us will understnd every behavior of an individual.

Yeah, you're right if all people living their life will only be true to themselves then its going to be a peaceful world, there is no lies and pretensions and everyone can be happy knowing that others accept their uniqueness and individuality. Because that's one of the reasons why people find it hard to be real and true because they want to be accepted. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

It is real hard to be truthful at all times.But its also true that pleasing everyone at the same time is next to impossible.Why should we sacrifice our principles just for the sake of pleasing someone.Why do we have to care about what people would think if we said the truth.We should on the first hand be true to ourselves and then automatically we would have the guts to speak out the truth.On the other hand if we do something wrong we have to lie to save ourselves.But faking does not take us too far.Liars are soon caught and have to face humiliation.One can also suffer from low self-esteem if one relies on lies for every issue.Thus I think to avoid such a situation we need to be true to ourselves whatever people might think about us.Following what our heart feels is right,and doing things which pleases ourselves and not others, will help us achieve our targets with our heads held high.

yes ur right.its virtually impossible to be 100% truthful. In this world we need tack and knack to survive. Having said that telling lies which doesnt hurt anyone is not bad if its for a good cause. There is a saying in India that to speak 100 lies to fix a marriage is not a sin. So truthfulness is not needed at all times
