-The one thing in life that i hope i can achieve to be one day because i admire it about people in the world. My grandfather is a very blunt person, he will tell you what it is and that is it. My father will tell you how it is and he wont make it sweeter then what it really is. Being blunt is sometimes frowned apon by the common soceity today because they feel as though that if you are blunt that you are being a "rude" person. But in all fact of the matter, its not being mean its being truthful about the subject, we people dont want to give you the kiddy truth. Learn how to handle the truth how it is. IF i say that i dont like you, i dont. If you ask me a question, i will answer it and i honestly dont give a crap if its not the thing that you wanted to hear. My grandfather is blunt, just like my uncle, just like my father, and hopefully to be just like me, and it is my hope that i can be the truthful and honest man that he is today.
You can tell the facts however you please, but in my eyes there is no better way to tell the truth by telling the hard straight truth to someone and give it to them straight. Dont be sweet about the subject because that only makes the subject worse in the long run because you are babying that person and not making them strong enough in the long run.
Honest yes, blunt no. Honesty can be given in love. Blunt is often done for selfish reasons. It is honest, but it is not done in love and it is often selfish. I know because I've been there. I've been blunt and been mean. I've been honest and been loving. Be honest! We love that about you. Don't be blunt. Say what you have to say in love.
ReplyDeleteSometimes that means not saying it right this second. Think about it for a little bit and then say it. It takes practice, but it can be done. Be honest always. Only be blunt in extreme circumstances.
