Speak the truth in love.

An honest answer is a sign of good friendship.

ˌgloss ˈover sth to avoid talking about sth unpleasant or embarrassing by not dealing with it in detail

to gloss over a problem

He glossed over any splits in the party.

Whenever an issue pops up that might cause tension or discomfort, it is immediately glossed over in order to preserve the false sense of peace.

Everyone knows about the problem, but no one talks about it openly. This creates sick environment o f secrets where gossip thrives.

 No more lies, no more pretenses. Tell your neighbour the truth.

Real happiness, whether in a marriage, a friendship or your workplace depends on frankness.

The tunnel of conflict is the passageway to intimacy in any relationship.

Until you care enough to confront and resolve the underlying barriers, you will never grow close to each other.

When conflict is handled correctly, we grow close to each other by facing and resolving our differences.

In the end, people appreciate frankness more than flattery.

Better devastation and embarrassment than damnation…..

We shall share our true feelings –AUTHENTICITY

Encourage each other- MUTUALITY

Support each other- SYMPATHY (EMPATHY)

 Forgive each other- MERCY

Speak the truth in love- HONESTY

Admit our weakness- HUMILITY

Respect our differences- COURTESY

Not gossip- CONFIDENTIALITY….

When we look at the list of characteristics, it is obvious why genuine relationship is so rare.

It means giving up our self-centeredness in order to design the interpersonal relationship.
