Displeased

Written on February 2nd, 2013
That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

    Yes always but this can be done with a certain dignity that allows for other peoples feelings to be taken into account.

      No one needs to be mean......being real does not mean being mean....when all you are doing is telling truth...if someone thinks that is mean....then ..nothing you can do

    “The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.”
    ― G.K. Chesterton

    Better to heal than hurt.

    There are many ways of knowing. Sometimes what we know to be right turns out to be anything but when more details are revealed.Therefore, it is sometimes better to stop and say nothing, be polite and simply smile.

      Those of us who are parents need to learn how to bite our tongues. It's something we must teach our kids. Most things are rarely as they initially appear and silence is often many times more effective than angry words.
