Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

True to some extent, but it is also true that many truths escape attention because they are not dealt with enough seriousness!.!.!.!.!. truths that escape attention take on much more serious dimensions as time is allowed to pass!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the truer word is said when one is angry!. It is in this state that you reach a point were you feel you really do not care what the other person feels and thinks!.

It is in this state that we let it all out, even those which we have been hiding to avoid hurting feelings!.

I truly believe that you will never know what the other person really thinks about until you are in a heated argument!.

So;listen carefully to one says in anger, and pay attention to it, it is the truth!.

Take Lenny Bruce, for example!. For all his filthy mouth, he spoke the truth about the things he saw!. George Carlin, Robin Williams, Bill Maher!.!.!.!.comedians who told the truth about the country, the people they live(d) in!. They make people laugh, but their jest is in earnest!.!.!.!.

I have never heard that one, but I think I agree with it!. Who said that we must laugh at men, so as not turn hurt him; in that way we honor him!? I think that was Napoleon!.

form of making a true statement without upsetting
someone!.!.!.!.you know hurting ones feelings !

In jest, it can be chosen to be taken lightly, but the
statement is still made!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, also 'out of the mouths of babes' Truth usually comes from the most unexpected source and once you put your finger on it, and say ' this is it', it no longer remains trueWww@QuestionHome@Com

Most people hide their nervousness in laughter!. It is easier to be truthful and kid around with someone then look them in the eye and lie!.
