A very good old friend just said ...
If I start telling everyone everything frankly about them, I would be left with no friends.
I was left quite speechless at this very interesting observation.
Would you want a friend with whom you cannot be frank about the your true opinion of him/her ???

Firstly, frankness is healthy only when it comes with tact, both of manner and timing..
ReplyDeleteSecondly, about the 'everything frankly'.. I feel there is no need, as well as not wise to tell 'everything'.. Yes, a freedom of frankness is necessary in a relationship, but we are humans and have limits to healthy acceptance to criticism..
All in all, I think your friend is right.. but frankness of opinion of the other is necessary in a relationship, but should accompany tact..
