When we say something that nourishes us and uplifts the people around us, we are feeding love and compassion. When we speak and act in a way that causes tension and anger, we are nourishing violence and suffering.
There's a fine line between being direct and being inconsiderate. Stepping over the line from directness to rudeness is easy if you don't pay attention to your communication style.
An honest and direct communication that lacks compassion can leave others feeling hurt, angry and annoyed. When others perceive disrespect in a conversation, they either shut down or turn defensive.
The art of expressing yourself effectively requires communicating with care so that your message is not just received but also respected and valued.
