      Many of the statements that make it to Facebook ... on other places in the media, are not said by Seers, but personalities. Some are self-styled life-coaches, motivators and inspirators. They are not Rumi's or Hafiz. They are not bad and do help to an extent, depending on the kind of 'feeding' one needs at the time... one's hunger.
      
      'Inner' confidence is most certainly a significant virtue, yet 'speaking one's mind' is different and can get one killed. I have seen so many situations, where one's acting from the mind and not the Heart, the psychic Heart. This leads to anger, resentments, violence and death.
      
      Wisdom is always necessary and diplomacy can save lives! Speak the truth, by all means, practice assertiveness, yes, but be wary of a selfish Truth and a negative assertiveness. They create problems, not harmony and Love. Always do what makes you strong, not weak. Use the Heart before significant actions; not the mind. Peace.

            Diplomacy can be deceitful in a political sense and very often is. I speak of being 'tactful' sometimes. There are different approaches to doing things. That is why I always say, use the Heart.
            
            In your case, I not only looked at what you were saying recently, but at how the person would receive it, so I used a different approach. You tell me, was it better? Smile.
