All declarations
I M holding back the true thing that would only wound and change nothing.
Wisdom
Not everything true needs to be said. Honesty is not a license to unload every harsh observation you have collected. The mature man asks not only is it true, but is it necessary, and is it even mine to say.
Carry It
Notice one true but cruel thing you could say today, and choose to keep it because saying it would only hurt.
Ask Yourself
How often do you call it honesty when it was really just permission to wound?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
