As usual, this is absolutely spot on sir and I must say that this came at the right time because it is relatable with the events I witnessed with Wifey's family members few weeks ago. Trust should be earned and I was just in one corner watching them drag things left and right but it all boils down on lack of trust within themselves. There is a time and place for brutal truth. There is a place for diplomacy too. If everyone wants to be brutally honest all the time, so many things would go wrong.
Yes, I have to trust myself to do the right things and when I drift, I should be honest with myself as well to do things better. Trust should be earned. One of my favourite quotes reads: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Trust and truthfulness is an interesting and broad subject as there's so many circumstances and situations in life than cause it to look differently depending on perspective and who is looking. I think it's important to be honest with oneself as much as possible, but as I said above we also tend to deceive ourselves a lot I'm preference for other emotions and feelings.
We're human, and so are always going to be flawed and fallible.
Absolutely true sir... absolutely. 🙌
