What is wrong in calling a spade a spade?
Isn’t it wise to speak the truth only when it is helpful to us and to the other individuals concerned?
A friend of mine once asked me how my neighbour was, a general causal question, as we were standing in front of my house and the neighbour’s house was in sight. My instant answer was, “he is an uncouth person who is struggling to settle here in this country.” The friend, who was deep into Christian spirituality and believed in loving thy neighbours, was taken aback, forcing me to feel guilty for not loving my neighbour.
Isn’t it wise to speak the truth only when it is helpful to the individual concerned or the situation demands it, and that also in a friendly and supportive manner?
