I was reading an article entitled "Learning the Art of Being TACTFUL"
Here are some points I really liked.

The dictionary defines tact as "the ability to appreciate the delicacy of a situation and to do or say
the kindest or most fitting thing."

Wow! I like that! clapping

It mentioned that being tactful is not just a skill; it involves a genuine desire to avoid hurting others.

Man! I like that too! clapping

Personally, I know that sometimes we can not be tactful like if we need to say something like...
"THE APARTMENT BUILDING IS ON FIRE! GET YOURSELF OUTTA HERE!!!"

Otherwise I can see why many like to be in the company of those who are tactful. nod

Slut!


Now see sensnual--dont u wanna knee this person right in da groin? lol

Hey! You're out of order! no no no!

First; There is beauty in all i have seen you (Melody) do.



Now,
Tact is an art that many in this world just don't seem to grasp. I may at times seem to be one of the tactless because
of my chosen pattern of speach, but tactfulness comes in
not having to lie or be false in ones doings. I do many things that aren't liked but it is honestly me. I use tact
not tactics. Those whom have showed themselves to be the users of TACTICS have often shown themselves to be the worst kinds of liars... NEED I SAY MORE??? lol

I think it depends on what your goal is...If your goal is to be "right", then tact is irrelevant...if your goal is to be understood, then tact is essential...

FUCK tactful.

Nikki Giovanni said it and I said it after her
