#300: A Word to the Outspoken (Friday, September 28)

"Providing the raw truth is hard. It's easy to be mean." - The Art of Being A Dick

I found this great blog post about the difference between being mean and being honest. The author makes some great points, but I think a lot of times people do say mean and hurtful things things under the guise of being outspoken.

You can tell the truth and be outspoken without being mean. But the question you should ask yourself one question: "Is it necessary to say what's on my mind at the risk of offending/hurting someone else?"

Sometimes, you gotta pick your battles.
