  Do you agree that by speaking your mind, you are necessarily telling the truth?
  
  For example, you tell another person everything bad you know about a another person especially because that is what you know about that person.

  that is backstabbing.... then again... it depends on the purpose you tell...
  
  sometime you should tell all the truth but not all truth should be told...
  
  then again there are times where you need to tell the truth dispite it may hurt feelings for the good of the situation.

  if what you have in mind is not the truth, then speaking your mind is not the truth. correct?

  Everyone has a own set of their truth.
  Truths are not like theories. They are more like opinion.

  Before you say something that hurt someone...give them a Precaution...Tell them it might hurt them....But it has to be said...Ask them if they wanted to hear....If yes they dont mind....Proceed....If no than dont...
  
  If people say yes and they still squabble about it....They are not a man of their words...

  SumOne, i think the question you should ask further. Is, Does the truth you present enhance or enrich relationships and positive feelings AT END STATE?
  
  What i mean is, even if whatever that youve said is the truth, but doesn't build relationships around you or created negetive emotions which affects people.
  Then what good is speaking the truth, if AT END STATE it doesn't help anyone.

  It all depends on how you define truth - subjectively as in what you believe in or objectively that is, facts.
  
  The sun rises from the East - truth
  
  But if you believe that the sun rises from the north and speak your mind explaining why you think the sun rises from the north, still doesn't mean you are telling the truth.........
