Truth Matters

Tact usually does too.

Facts don’t care about feelings.

These are important things to remember when we’re searching answers or information in general.

There’s also an interesting balance here when it comes to actually communicating things. I wish I could actually just be armed with facts, but then I’m reminded that how I come across matters to how the truth is received in most cases. 

The phrase facts don’t care about feelings comes from a political commentator I enjoy listening to. It’s meant to communicate that we shouldn’t based our opinions off of feeling but instead off of facts, because without the acknowledgement of truths there is no basis for ideas to stand on.  

So when you’re sharing ideas focus on the facts, consider how to best get the information across but realize that in the end lies to make someone feel good about their position are almost always completely useless.
