What You Never Know
July 7th 2007 -
I was browsing through my MP3 folders the other day and came across a song by Sarah Brightman - What You Never Know. The lyric caught my attention.
It is true that things you never know won’t hurt you. Like people always say, the truth always hurts whether we like it or not. Especially things that been hidden away from us – to protect us. The reasons why people tell lies, it’s because they do not want you to get hurt. This is very true. Many times, don’t you just wish you didn’t know what you know? The truth just haunts you for days or weeks. Made you ponder about it over and over again. Having disbelief of what turned out to a lie after all. Friendship crashes, relationship destroyed.
I personally believe that there’s no harm to be totally honest with someone, even to the point that you may lose him/her as a result of it.
What do you think?

Sarah Brightman - What You Never Know
What you never know won’t hurt you
What you never know won’t lie
What you never know won’t desert you
What you never know won’t say goodbye
What you never know won’t hurt you
What you never know won’t lie
What you never know won’t desert you
What you never know won’t make you cry
What you never know
What you never, never, never …
What you never know
What you never know won’t hurt you
What you never know won’t lie
What you never know won’t desert you
What you never know - unless you try
What you never know won’t hurt you

Yes I agree indeed , sometimes the truth does hurts. But the truth shall set you free.
Well, it depends I guess, if normal friends… obviously you won’t go telling normal friends your deepest darkest bad secrets.
But if that person is gonna be your life partner, then everything has to be 100% honesty.

Tan: I do agree with you - know the truth and the truth will set you free.
Knowing the truth, it means living without lies.
One of my friend told me that, his girlfriend said to him, “if you ever cheat on me, please don’t let me find out”. If I were in her shoes, being a very busybody person, I would definitely want to know the truth. But then, knowing the truth may be hard for me to take it, I would rather choose not to know. What would most probably happen in this scenario? Most likely a break-up, unless the one that was hurt able to forgive the other.
