a moral decree

I have always been out-spoken...my theory as to why I am this way is because while growing up I had a daddy who always cared about everything I had to say. He always listened attentively and showed genuine appreciation of my thoughts. Imagine my surprise when not everyone else in the world was quite as appreciative, and so began my real world experience. I have sequestered most of my thoughts for many years...I grew so tiered of peoples reactions to my honesty. Until lately I've realized that I'm doing myself and others an injustice by remaining silent...this world needs more honesty. I'm not afraid of people's reactions to me anymore...If I see an issue that needs to be addressed guess what I'm going to address it. With respect, kindness, and honesty...just like my dad taught me.
