I Enjoy Philosophical and Thoughtful Discussion

@Scribbles: ...and you'll be better equipped to tell which of those friends really are.

@zmedleff1: I disagree. Friendship with me has never been based on others agreeing 100% with what I say or my own point of view. If I wanted that, I'd become a despot.

Not what I meant...
mean more that the session will reveal truths that are hidden even, like about people real intentions. Like you'd know instantly which people are your real friends and who has bad intentions towards you.

@zmedleff1: No thanks. Why would I want that?
That would spoil the surprise of getting to know people. And if someone does have bad intentions I'd be able to figure that out for myself in time after all...not via some "truth session" Besides in general, I trust myself to make decent enough friends...

besides...there are more annoying things then bad intentions. Would you want to know all your friends intentions? what if they just want to feel more cool or some superficial reason or whatever (friendships often start over superficial reasons at first)...and you didn't know. wouldn't your interactions be colored by that unnessesarily? would there be enough room for a friendship to evolve even?

In fact...I probably wouldn't focus on people at all-(except for one person but that's a very private matter, and even then I'm not sure I could handle learning the truth of why).

It any case it would be like invading their privacy against their will. which is a bit distasteful...and it spoils the whole surprise factor in interacting with people. I also don't neccesarily want to know how stupid, or selfish or evil or good a person is. Even if I were to see the benefit it finding out ...say...why a friend of mine is mad at me...it defeats the whole purpose of communication. Friendship has to be a two way street as I've heard it said...or it dies. Besides wouldn't it be hypocritical to go off judging my friends or other people I meet? I know I haven't always been an amazing completely selfless friend. No one ever is.

I think the truth is important- as all knowledge is. But if it's someone elses truth to tell...it's that person's right to make it known...not anybody else. It's not my right to know it just because...because then it's not my business. I got more respect for at least my friends anyway

I'd focus my truth session on the deeper mysteries of life, science, philosophy, humanity, history, etc. I don't require more truth regarding my personal life. If I did...I'd seek it out on my own.

Very thoroughly thought out and very self-aware, good on you.

@zmedleff1: Thank you, :)
