Would you rather get an honest opinion, even if it hurts?


My answer: Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Yes, but I would like it with the pros and cons and, above all, some tact or bed-side manner. Brutal honesty rarely works well on the recipient and should only be used in an emergency, as a last resort or in general terms. A lot of people would argue against me on my point about brutal honesty, to which I'd likely tell them "bullshit, you're wrong" and then they'd get angry and I'd win the argument, Q.E.D. Tempering the razor of truth can make the edge more effective when cutting out the erroneous. A dull blade can make the work twice as long and twice as shy for the patient.

My 2 cents.

Tact makes it easier to accept it as help, as opposed to being shot down...
