Candour.

The most obviously present and the oft overlooked...the very inspiring and the extremely discouraging. What I am talking about is Opinion.
We all have them. Opinions about people, events, habits, things that matter and even those that do not. However, it is not the having of an opinion that counts. Expressing an opinion will not make any difference either (yeah, maybe it will, but not the difference it ought to make). So then? What matters?

Expressing an opinion with honesty and frankness. Calling a spade a spade. Thinking about what you are goinf to say and then saying exactly that.
That is Candour.


Now, my favourite - The simple. The Basic.

Opinion - what one thinks
Judgement - forming of an opinion/conclusion
Conclusion - a decision reached by reasoning

The point I'm trying to make? An opinion cannot be what you feel. It is what you think. An opinion is by nature a conclusion, thus based on reason. Reason is never unfair. It can by all means be personal but not biased.
It is not just about stating an opinion honestly. It is about forming correct, pure opinions. Expressing an unbiased, reasonable opinion with honesty and frankness.
That is Candour.


Not just expression but sincerity in expression.
Not jus thought but reason in thought.
Not just a word but a way of life.
That is Candour.
