Truth and Grace

Which is better, being kind or being right? We can’t always maximize both virtues at the same time; it’s how individuals respond in those moments that reveal a lot about them. It’s been my experience that most folks pick being kind over being right when they are face to face with another human being. In a group or a setting less personal, however, they usually choose to be right rather than kind. There’s a time and a place for everything under the sun. Perhaps there is a time and a place to be right and there is another time and place to be kind. Knowing which is which requires a good measure of both truth and grace.
