Many of us say we always want to hear the truth. But most of the time, when the truth gets thrown into our faces, we are never always strong enough to take it, especially, especially when it comes to a painful truth. Maybe it's better to be kept in the dark, strung along, hung by a thread or however people put it, because that way, the pain becomes more bearable. Maybe not. No man was born with a contract that life will be fair to him. Pain will come, but it will also go. We, as human beings, will just have to manage it in our own ways.
From the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy, one of Dr Grey's many ponderings:
"As surgeons, there are so many things we have to know. We have to know we have what it takes. We have to know how to take care of our patients, and how to take care of each other. Eventually, we even have to figure out how to take care of ourselves. As surgeons, we have to be in the know. But as human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark. Because in the dark, there may be fear, but there's also hope." (Cut scene to end of episode)
