Kindness is Honesty, Not Deception
Avoiding direct communication is often rooted in the belief that one is being kind by shielding others from unpleasant truths. However, this approach can be deeply harmful, as it undermines trust and emotional strength. Instead of protecting someone by softening the truth, it is kinder to be honest and forthright. This honesty empowers individuals, showing them that they are capable of handling difficult conversations, thereby equipping them with the emotional tools necessary for growth. Honesty builds resilience, while deceit diminishes it, making it essential to approach conversations directly and sincerely.
