which one i choose depends on the circumstances. sometimes i get it wrong. sometimes i go with kindness only to later feel bad about not being honest & then i usually offer the honesty. sometimes i choose honesty over kindness only to quickly discover that was clearly a bad decision.
finding yourself forced to choose between honesty & kindness really is a tough spot to find yourself in, imo.
the movie "florence foster jenkins" is based on a true story about "the world's worst singer"...the lady is surrounded by people all choosing kindness over honesty. at the end, though, she encounters a brutally honest person...& then she dies...seemingly of heartbreak.
