be honest

Yesterday someone was telling it like it is and I still wasn't satisfied. I think it was the delivery and tone that ruffled me. I'm all for honesty! Given in a kind and concerned manner, information can really be supportive. The patronizing from aquaintances can be even worse. "You look like you lost weight," I know I have gained at least ten pounds! I guess we have a tendency to tell people what we think they want to hear. Are we ever satisfied about everything? I even get tired of hearing myself complain. Let's find a silver lining in this entry. YOU WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU IF YOU KNEW HOW OFTEN THEY DIDN'T.
