"Not that they’re a jerk about it. **There is a distinction between telling the truth and attacking people**, between saying what you think and giving people your unsolicited opinions about how they should live or look or act. “**Speak the truth as you see it**,” [[Marcus Aurelius]] reminded himself, “**but with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy**.”" --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[kindness]], [[humility]], [[character]], [[truth-to-power]], [[conflict]], [[personal-values]] **Source** -- [[202409180127 - B - Right Thing, Right Now]]
