Why is it bad to tell people what they want to hear?
My dad said, "You gotta sometimes tell people what they DONT want to hear. It's like telling the truth, either you wanna hear it or not."

It's bad because if all you ever do is tell people what they want to hear, they will never know anything is wrong with them and nothing will change.

@NotValid There is a way to speak the objective truth lovingly.

@lulaluboo Even if the truth hurts. My dad told us one time, "If you can't handle the truth or someone shouting at you, then you're not ready for the world that doesn't give a damn about your feelings. The truth doesn't care about your feelings. Get used to it kid! You will feel uncomfortable once in your life. Life is harsh and cruel. You need to accept that."

It’s not bad as long as there is truth in it!

@Wiseacre Sadly, truth is extremely unpopular these days.

@Wiseacre There is objective, absolute truth too, but it is unpopular to even say that these days.
