Money vs Truth

Money can't buy you the truth!

- lauyee

Alright alright, simple fact, I'm not going to argue about what else money can or cannot buy, the list would be arbitrary and infinite. Right before you jump to your smart conclusion about how money can buy you the truth, think again, I'm just telling you that money can't buy you the truth and you suddenly get so defensive? What's wrong with you? Just realized that you've never bought the truth?

Let's start with a few very simple example, something we see around us, name any product that you've bought because of some advertisement and it actually works like it claims, I can safely say 90% of the time, it doesn't. Repeat after me, you bought something because of a marketing gimmick, and marketing gimmick is never near to the truth. Well basically whenever you buy something that you doesn't really need, you've just bought a lie that sales person proposed, and more often then not you feel good doing so.

Now now, let's look at something intangible, something a lot of us sought for but gifted to only a handful of people, something we know as beauty. Bingo, cosmetic, if you're telling me that a girl with those heavy make up is of true beauty to you, so be it, you just bought a lie you sold yourself. People buy cosmetics so they can give lesser truth to their audience! If her cheek have that natural blush, would she be dumb enough to cover her face with possibly damaging chemicals?

When do you get the truth? Usually when you least expect, very indirectly and you don't need to pay a single penny for it. You could face it or deflect it, or simply just brush it off, as if you din't hear it. Remember when you say "No thanks" to that sales person who gave their best presenting their sales pitch, and he mutters "Stingy bastard,,," at that very moment, that's the truth, you are being stingy.

If you have a close friend who tell you the truth, cherish their friendship. you have a friendship that money can't buy! Though it may be hurtful, trust me I've been through that very path and learn his lesson the hard way, The real Bros will sometimes smack you down with the truth that may stunts you for days,  but it's your job to evaluate the degree of truth, and it's your decision to improve yourself or not. When someone stuff you with the truth, accept them gracefully, and be really glad that you have such an honest friend, which is really rare. When was the last time you told your friend the whole truth anyway? If you wouldn't even tell them the truth when they arn't paying you, what are the chances that you will tell the truth if someone is paying you not to tell the truth?
