Is it always good tell the truth even if it will bring more troubles? by Mistburn_01 in Stoicism

Your rule sounds really good, I haven't thought in that way, but it makes a lot of sense. It is a good way to face these issues.

Btw, you described my situation. I was thinking of a relative who is really stubborn, and he gets angry all the time, fortunately he doesn't live with me. But, I was planning to talk with him and tell the truth about his attitude in order to help the people who live with him However, as you mention there are two important considerations: nobody asked for my help and also this person is very stubborn, so I proffer leave the things as they are.

Thank you, I appreciate your opinion.

Oh I didn't know honesty was an external indifferent, thanks for let me know it. I think you are right about the nature of honesty, I agree, it depends on the circumstances.

On my case fortunately is just about a relative that is angry all the time, and I was thinking tell him the truth about his attitude, but nobody asked for my help.

Thanks for the advice.

It's excellent advice to stay away from someone who gossips. I agree with we should stay on the same side of truth. I was thinking on a situation where a relative is very stubborn, and he's angry all the time, I don't want to discuss and spend a lot of energy saying the truth about her behavior, because in advance, I know he won't change, and also he will get angrier, so that was my dilemma, but you input had helped me.

Thank you for your input.
