Dont ask...

You can't handle the truth is not just a popular movie line, it is a hard core fact. People ask, but don't really desire to hear or they have their mind so made up that if 100 people told the same truth they would stay stuck in their lie. Your version is easier to swallow than what really is. Facing reality may require change and no one wants to be forced out of their comfort zone. People know they are wrong before they look to you to cosign, but for some reason wrong needs the strongest validation. When people are right they stand on that alone, but when folks are wrong they have to relive the story until they are convinced others believe. My suggestion would be, don't ask if you can't handle the truth.
