Thoughts & Honesty.

Don't you think that sometimes it is better to keep certain thoughts to yourself no matter how much you think people ought to know about something. Well, I'm simply saying this because you don't know how people would feel after you open that mouth of yours. Yes, it is good to be direct and honest about your opinions. At the same time, words can be a sharped edged sword. There are times where certain things can be a joke but there are also times when things have to get serious. No matter how one or two people might be able to take the things you say as a joke most of the time just because you knew each other for what seems to be forever, everyone has their limits that should be taken into consideration at the end of the day.

And, when someone tries to change the topic, GET THE DAMN MESSAGE man. Seriously. Or eventually, they'll stop talking to you just because they find you insensitive and the things that you say time and time again irritating. Is that difficult for you to get such a simple thing into that thick skull of yours? 

I am not saying that I don't say things that are hurtful or in which I know I don't mean as it is meant to be a joke but at least, I know my limits even though I still cross the boundary occasionally. Nonetheless, I know when to stop and to get serious if things get a little out of hand. I admit that I don't always realize it until after a few hours but I often mend things if I know that I have gone overboard. 

Haven't it crossed your mind that certain things that is being said to a person might be sensitive or hurtful in any way? Well, as much as the saying "The truth hurts." goes, it would not harm to think before you talk.

Maybe, that is the reason to why I didn't follow my mother's traits when it comes to being direct to somebody about something.
