Okay, at school if I don't like you, I'll talk about you in your face and behind your back, cause I ain't scared of nobody. If I get in a fight and lose opps, I don't care. But see, that's never happened. Now my problem is I snap and end up hurting that person's feelings, but then my friends be feeling sorry for them. There is nothing wrong with being outspoken and honest, but for those qualities to work for you, you must also have dignity.
Dignity is the difference between an honest person and a jerk.
It is standing up for what you believe in without stepping on someone's toes to do it. Keep in mind, what you say and do today could come back to haunt you tomorrow. Try not to let the little things annoy you so much. One hand points the way to truth, and one hand halts those on the path to shame. One hand beckons all toward enlightenment, and one hand strikes out against the wicked.
