Speaking Truth Only Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Intentions can be noble and from the heart, yet at times
can do a person harm if not aligned with what they know
or believe in.

People are anomalies, we can never be sure if what we say
or do will be appreciated or offend them, doing what is
right, speaking truth openly and honestly is best.

When dealing with others avoid being politically correct,
because then you will always be immorally and unethically
wrong.

That's a devastating way to be in this life today, better
to just be forthright and honest in everything you do,
using tact so as not to hurt another's feelings.

Avoid saying something altogether if not sure about the
person and where they are in this particular moment in
their life.

Wait and get to know them better on a more personal level
if possible, becoming friends maybe in the future, having
conversations with meaning and relevance.
