I am a big fan of putting everything on the table. It however makes people uncomfortable to be so honest. So they contiue to be fake in the name of polite. Nonsense, I say. Hurt me with the truth, don't BS me with a lie...I believe that is how the saying goes.
Explora, too right. That is the way.
Sisterpoet, I try hard to be that way, but sometimes others' irrationality forces me to 'be politic'. But I'm aware that I'm very stubborn, and sometimes this 'diplomacy' is a good exercise in pride taming. However, sometimes a negative pattern forms and I end up in the position of the astrological Scorpio (which I am) where I end up poisoning myself through not having the right release. I used to eat ALL negative feelings as a kid and I wasted a lot of good energy feeding dark feelings. It still happens sometimes (we deal however we can deal), but I'm a lot better about it. That said, of course you're right, and I crave little more than to be able to be brutally honest. I'm working at it.
Dynamic, right you are, and full of probiotics, but also full of toxic parasites. ;^)
3-monkeys, feels good when others know where you're coming from. Better to expectorate the cud sometimes, than chewing it forever.
these six words leapt out from the sermon I heard in church this morning. Thanks Pastor Jodi. (I attend a Baptist church which has two lady ministers on the pastoral team.)We can live with peace and joy no matter...
