3.21.2012 – Education via Honesty

If you ask a question and someone gives you an honest answer, you can learn. If to avoid hurting your feelings or upsetting you, a sugar coated, or otherwise less direct response is given, you will be moving forward motivated by false information. Your feelings may have been spared, but in the long run you end up more hurt because you will choose your behaviors based on non-reality.

This is what I expected.

I was so happy to have visiting guests in town for dinner tonight. Based on my experiences from over two years ago, I chose a restaurant that I thought would fit the bill. My friends wanted Italian food, and since they are of Italian descent, I felt it important to choose an authentic kitchen. My memories from the few times I ate at this particular establishment, were that the flavors in their capellini were amazing! The garlic, olive oil, spices and fresh tomatoes, made me blissful every time I ate the dish.

This is what I got.

Unfortunately, our dining experience was less than perfect tonight. I actually still have an upset stomach from the sauce, which tasted like store bought from a jar instead of the fresh memorable tastes from before. It was barely above the one note flavor of ketchup!

My dining companions eat authentic Italian cuisine on a regular basis, so I wanted there honest opinion, which they gave me. They commented on what they liked and didn’t like about the meal and gave an overall rating of, “it was okay.”

It was just okay to me too. It was important for me to know that although the meal I ate tonight was different than what I experienced two years ago, it wasn’t good or truly authentic. I would never again bring Italian food lovers there, and in actuality, I will probably never eat there again.

Sometimes we are afraid to ask questions because we are fearful of what the answers might be. We may feel hesitant to receive the truth or valid information because we may not like it. This is an avoidance of reality, which can slow us down and keep us from taking forward steps towards our future goals.
