Truth can be the kindest form of communication
It can be the most intimate way we let someone we care about know how we feel
Namely, how their actions have made us feel
Brutal truth can be the most sincere way we express our emotions
The ugly is not in its harsh way of deliverance but in the elegance of honesty, in its purest form.
Sure, there may be consequences to honesty.
How truth is received is up to the recipient but the form of communication is the sender’s responsibility.
So tell me, how can something kind, elegant, honest, and pure still be brutal?
Because the brutal truth can cut deep
Sometimes change can only occur when the brutal, ugly truth is
Revealed, experienced, digested, and ultimately accepted.
So be kind, but brutally honest with those who deserve it most.
Me in Rome. In ancient times you would place your hand in the mouth and if you were deemed a liar you would lose your hand…
