I am cur...Does civility and candor go hand in hand? I am currently working at a local shoulder around the homeless population in Salt Lake City, Utah, and why candor can be good, civility in this case could have disasterous consequences. I see mothers who are children themselves raising children. These young women are missing their teenage years, bearing the weight of what should have taken place years from now. Instead of the prom they are pushing strollers. Would candor be helpful, or quiet civility? Praying that my daughter when I have one, will pay attention to my wife and myself. I witness daily lives wrecked with drugs and alcohol, and wonder what these individuals could have become, making a different decision years prior, to this point. As my left shoulder heals from a major reconstructive surgery, I am gaining an appreciation, of what most of us take for granted. Years from now when my wife and children pull up to donate items, I will smile knowing that candor and civility, do not always go hand in hand.<BR/> <BR/>Todd Brklacich<BR/>Murray, UTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
