Contraditions
It's funny. Most people I know say “oh, I like sincere people! a true friend must be sincere! a true girl/boyfriend must be sincere! my neighbours must be sincere! sincere, sincere, sincere!”, but when you do it – I mean, when you are sincere with them –, they act like you were offensive, rude or even unfriendly. Some of them start being hostile with you because of that. Well, personally I prefer very much those who say directly to me what they think than those who smile falsely to you, and just after they turn around, start saying terrible things about you. Anyhow, that's what they call by civilisation.

@Nikolay: Have you ever thought your words are applicable to you as well?

Truth may be expressed with different ways and different words. More or less softly. And it must be high evel of trust to the person to accept the truth even from the best friend.
Because if someone who i don't trust tell me hard words i will think: "this mutherfucker is just trying to offend me, to ruin my confidence or simply to deceive me, simulating sincerity.

Good words.

Contradictions? They're everywhere. And personal attitude has nothing to do with them for it's all because of the human's contradictory nature. Люди говорят пыщ-пыщ, а делают ололо (hard to translate it in English, but the meaning is clear, i suppose).
