Do we, like John Nicholson’s character in “A Few Good Men”, think that “you can’t handle the truth?” Or do we invite each other into deeper truth, knowing that truth is always a double edged
that cuts both ways? -
deciding for someone else that they deserve ignorance is one of the most profoundly unkind ways of treating someone that I can think of, and of course Col. Jessup is an archetypal villain for a good reason.

refining my question to align more with my values: "how can we incorporate kindness and compassion into communications and activities motivated by truth-seeking?"
-
tone, affect, word-choice, and timing are all important aspects but I'd by lying if I said I was good enough at communicating to think I had really nailed this aspect of it. it's terribly easy to be misunderstood both in content and intent.
