Nice and polite

It’s great to be nice, to be polite. Everyone prefers to interact with other people who are polite.

Yet when you hide or even deny the truth in the interest of politeness, that’s a problem. Politeness that obscures reality is downright deception.

Sometimes reality is not particularly nice or agreeable. And avoiding it out of a desire for politeness is going to allow that difficult reality to get worse.

When possible, be pleasant and polite, because it smooths out interactions and adds genuine value to life. But when being polite prevents you from dealing with reality, choose to deal with reality.

When a few people are standing in a parking lot having a fruitful conversation, it’s rude to interrupt. But when they cannot see a speeding car headed their way, it’s foolish and irresponsible not to warn them.

Reality always wins. Be nice and polite as much as you can, while never failing to acknowledge and accommodate what is true and what is real.

Thank you willbe. I am sick right now with a sinus infection and walking pneumonia. I am doing some better today. My hubby has walking pneumonia also. Please keep us in your prayers.

I pray the Lord will keep us all safe and that we may all have a blessed November and Thanksgiving and be surrounded by family and friends.
