I heard a psychologist on Big Ideas on the ABC 24 stating the following:

“People tell the truth to hut others but can also tell the truth to help others”

She reckons we should tell the truth to help someone. But what if the someone does not want to hear the truth and calls us a trouble maker for hurting them with
my truth?

I say we need to first get an agreement upfront from the other as to what they want to hear from me as they may not wish to hear anything that they don’t like and then how are they going to treat me if that is so?

Time to get some agreed rules of engagement, I think.
