During the past fifteen years a great deal of attention has been given to "letting it all hang out".
My impression is that this over-zealous devotion to speaking one" s mind has more often led to hurt feelings and ruined relationships than to great joy and fulfillment.
I think we generally agree that holding in real feelings and never expressing less-than-lovely thoughts about each other hardly lead to constructive communication. It" s a great relief to allow ourselves the luxury of admitting our human weaknesses and pursuing more honest relationships with oth-ers. But we need to strike a balance between telling it all and telling nothing.
Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been persuaded by her troubled twenty-five-
year-old son to attend a weekend "truth" marathon with him. Under pressure from the group, her de-fenses collapsed and she heard herself telling her son for the first time that he had been an accident-that she hadn"t been planning to have a child. He in turn told her that he couldn"t recall a single dayin his childhood that he"d been happy.
"At that time," this woman wrote, "it seemed helpful. We cried and we made up; I thought
telling the truth had been good for us. But the trouble is, it wasn"t the whole truth. By the time
Tommy was born, I did want him, and at times he was happy. Ever since that day, we" ve both been disturbed by some terrible feelings we shared. "
I must admit we"ve come to the conclusion that some things are better left unsaid. Honesty is a
fine policy as long as we know what the truth really is-but most of the time we don"t. It"s a fine
goal to encourage children to express their real feelings. But we need a new sense of balance. Telling it all is not a cure-all for every problem nor even an end in itself. It"s useful and freeing under some circumstances and terribly hurtful and damaging under others.
It" s a good idea, I think, to bite your tongue for ten or fifteen minutes before saying what" s on
your mind. Try to decide whether it"s going to open up new and better avenues of communication or leave wounds that may never heal.
