cellophane

what does true transparency look like? as it relates to full disclosure in any sort of communication it feels right, good and appropriate to receive the whole truth . . . or does it?

we are conditioned to expect the truth. but what happens when the truth doesn't meet our individual expectations? for example, when i ask for your opinion do i really want your opinion or am i canvassing for one that validates mine?

now mind you i am not suggesting truth be hidden or sugar coated . . . i happen to prefer my conversation straight up. i am simply suggesting when an opinion is shared in a way that doesn't necessarily meet unspoken expectations be slow to reject what has been offered. maybe it is the receiver who needs to fine tune the hearing . . . audio check please.
