What are your thoughts about this quote. Does it resonate? Does it repel? Does it partly resonate and partly repel? Is truth “nice”? Is “nice” truth?

That’s a great point and it is ultimately based upon perspective of the recipient. Sometimes the truth is a hard to accept, but is necessary. As a nurse, I am often called upon to provide the truth. Sometimes it is necessary to save a life from a string of negative habits, other times it is to deliver positive test results and allay fears. Both are truths will ultimately save a life, but one is a harder pill to swallow (pardon the pun).
