The virtue of being blunt (5)

We all have a clear idea of the virtues that should define the ideal human being—or at least some of them: honesty, tolerance, solidarity, simplicity, joy… But there are certain virtues that carry an undeserved bad reputation. Today, we’re going to talk about the first of these: “being blunt.” 
 
Yes, you heard that right—for me, being blunt is a virtue. A blunt person says things exactly as they feel them; they’re sincere, straightforward, and direct. When you’re with someone blunt, you never feel deceived because they call a spade a spade. With others, you’re often left wondering if they’re telling the truth, sugarcoating their words, or outright lying. Not with a blunt person. You can trust them because they’ll never stab you in the back—and if they ever intend to, they’ll tell you to your face first. 
 
You should never feel offended by what a blunt person says, because it comes from the heart. We should all be free to think, feel, and express ourselves however we please. 

Hypocrisy has taken over the world, and that’s precisely why the virtue of “being blunt” deserves to be recognized as one of the most valuable. From here, I’m making a case for it.
