Truth must be presented as love through love as if it is dished up on a plate of manure, it does not so much get spoiled by this itself, but all the other persons see is manure and not truth, so truth has to be given with love for the other person to receive the truth too.
What do you think?

Yes, truth is equal to love. I would agree with that.
Can the truth be given out to someone without love though?
Is that possible, as in someone giving to someone say, the letter of the law, and not its essence?
I think that love gives out truth from itself whenever love is truly given to anyone. You cannot fully properly love someone without giving out its truth, and your truth with it too.
On the other hand, when you despise someone and hit them over the head with book learned truth, this is not real truth, as it has no love in it. It is mere shadow without substance.

@SHOHANA thanks, most people seem to be agreeing on that. Truth and love go together. One can't exist without the other.

Truth, love, and manure are all important and needed. Some more so than the others.

Yes, that's for sure. I am not sure if one feeds the other though..., or if one leads to the other....LOL...

Yes, to be a real love, and a deep love, we need to be always honest in our loving. I agree honesty is very important. It helps to build trust.

That's a good observation.
Maybe I should have titled this discussion, truth, love, and honey then instead. But I knew the use of the word manure, would draw a few more eyes to it...lol...
At least, falsehood served with manure, rather than with honey, would never deceive anyone.

@Shiva49 Thanks siva. I value your valuable insights and input to all of my posts here too. They certainly add the extra honey to them too.
Have lies and falsehood got any uses within love then, or not?
Love has no room for fear within itself, and it has no room for lies and falsehoods either.
Love can use truth if it comes served with either honey or manure, but for the purposes of love, and to really love someone fully, we should supply truth in a dish of compatibility to someone, and not lord it over them, ramming our truths down their throat so far that it is never absorbed, but just comes out of them as manure.
Still sort of useful, but not really giving the real understanding of love's truths to the person. This was the point that I was trying to make here in this discussion.
We should love someone in love's way, not in our own way, that is, when our way, is not fully love's way too.

@innertalks Well said Steve, falsehood is more detestable than manure as the latter has its uses!
Despite pandering to attracting eyeballs you have served this post with love, title notwithstanding! siva
