The Seer’s Thought for the Day
Elevated by tact and kindness, speaking one’s mind and expressing one’s opinions, can be done without causing hurt feelings and resentment. Just make sure your words are true, kind and necessary.
True, Kind and Necessary
Such a thoughtful reminder. Thank you dear Alanine for these words of wisdom and experience.
There are petty tyrants who want to be hurt and resentful, no matter how a statement is phrased. I could get hung up for hours or days on the question of how to express something “kindly enough” as to not invoke the tornado of a petty tyrant’s unpredictable emotions and fail regardless. For those petty tyrants it seems like a waste of energy to be anything other than direct. Is it kind to be direct?
Very beautifully said. Thank you.
I need some lessons still. I’m working on not feeling fear and going into survival mode or needing to still prove that i am “right”. These last five years have really increased the survival mode within.
