SAY

So I'm listening to John Mayer's "Say" and I'm wondering what the world would be like if everyone actually said what was on their mind.  If we didn't censored ourselves, would this world be a better place or would we more intensely see the depravity that plagues us all.  We are not perfect, so of course we would say things without thinking.  But would that be a bad thing?  I mean... if we were all totally honest there wouldn't be assumptions made or feeling stabbed in the back or anything of the sort.  Some would argue that relationships would be healthier.  I would have to agree. 

Taking it a step further... what would life be like if you actually approached people with concerns, or problems, or fears, or joys.  We are in a society that is so politically correct and never wanting to invade someone else's views that we censor ourselves to a fault.  I've realized that I assume alot of things and usually they're wrong... But do I ever just step out there and try to get to the root of the issue?  Sometimes.  I am learning.  I'm out of college and I'm still learning. 

So what keeps us from saying what we really need to say?
