Good morning and welcome to Thursday.  We're more than halfway through the work week, family.  Keep doing your thing. 


Now, I put up a question yesterday that spurred a whole lot of conversation.  There were some answers (to those who posted, thanks...), but there were also responses that led me to ask another question.

There were at least two or three people who admitted to indulging in cattiness/ *****iness/ jackassery (did I mention that I love and am gonna steal this word? LOL), seeming to enjoy / revel in it.   This ISN'T an indictment....just an observation.  The reason stated was a belief in total honesty.  Okay, that's cool.  

Dave Chappelle once had a couple of skits on his old t.v. show in which keeping it real was a little TOO real.  It is possible to be too honest?  Or is there a thin line between honesty and purposefully being cruel?   Now, for sure, there are men and women who are truthful beyond measure and will tell it often and always.  But at what point (IS there a point) where someone may engage in just plain nastiness under the banner of "keeping it real"? 

What say you? 

As with yesterday, I would love to read your responses.

Morning D!!!

I don't think you can be too honest - I think you can repeat your truth too many times and wear a mofo out with it - like telling somebody in the morning their hairstyle is wack, then reminding them at lunch and before they go home for the day - say your shiot once and be done. 

But there is a point where it just plain old mean - when the message really isn't about helping the person improve or making them aware of an issue for them to correct it, but more stating it and re-stating it just to drive a nail in their coffin.

Happy Friday Eve man!!!

My thing is this:  If a person is going to be honest, there is nothing wrong with tact.  There are people who are, undoubtably, honest as hell, but sometimes when people say certain things, all tact goes out of the window. 

About when it just becomes plain mean, though.  What is up with that?  I mean is that an indictment of the reciever of the message?  Or the sender?

Well - tact is a moving target.  You never know what you may say that YOU consider tactful that the other mofo will consider heat.

The plain mean - that's on the sender of the message - clearly some things are said with an intent to help or inform, and some just to hurt or cause issue.  Most times you know what's gonna happen before you say shiot - but sometimes you really don't.  If you don't, then the sender owes an explanation/retraction - then the indictment, if there is to be one, is back on the reciever. 

Dang - why you gotta be THIS deep THIS early???  LOL!!!!

I'm a deep person, u know that.  LOL> 

Besides, i'm not gonna be on this thing later and it HAS been kinda quiet lately.  So, rather than start drama, I decided to ask questions that require thought and maybe a little bit of self-examination for some.

There is never a reason to be intentionally nasty to a person without provocation. 

Even WITH provocation, Hope is working on not reacting....instead, thinking every situation through and seeing is it worth the *****assness response.

My peace of mind means more to me now than ever!  I need and require PEACE.  Anything that upsets that will be placed in the discard bin.  If you ever lived with my daughter, you would understand why I say what I say!

I'm growing!
