Bevvie says,
The truth. Tactfully.maryjane31 says,
I was going to say "tact" but Bevvie says it better above. Some people I have known have been brutal with the truth. To me that is cruel. I believe strongly in being tactful in dealing with people always.MotorCityMich says,
I agree. Some people use "truth" like a weapon. So, if given only the choice between the two, I'd choose tact first. It's just a shame that for so many people it's an either/or question.Bevvie says,
"Tell all the Truth but tell it slant" Emily Dickinson.Sorry to get all English major, but I love this line from D's poem. It explains so well how truth should be handled!
MotorCityMich says,
Feel free to get all English major with me, because I am one too. :)Love it!
Sagacious says,
I rarely leave people in two minds as to where they stand we me. I'm probably the last person to ask if you don't want to hear the truth.
