Truth?

We are taught at a young age that to tell the truth is the right thing to do. We learn as we get older that we don't share more of the truth than need be. This became clear to me recently with a bad issue with some long time friends. Over the years there have been differences of opinion that were never shared and rightly shouldn't have been. Well ,in the heat of an unforeseen disagreement on a smaller issue, all of things of the past came out in full force leaving nothing unsaid. Another thing that I have learned is that most people can't handle the real truth and the end to this story is probably clear to you now.
