Interesting piece of wisdom today! Honesty does indeed cost but hopefully is empathically and kindly shared. I flinched a bit on the second half - not sure I could share his labels.You always provide thought-provoking things for us to chew on!
Um yes! I try to be honest, or at least not give insincere praise, but it is always important to be kind! My friend told me that at his school they were taught to ask three questions before they said anything to anyone: "Is it true?" "Is it kind?" "Is it necessary?". Bears remembering, I think!
