RuleInspired by Benjamin Constant
The right to the truth
The truth is owed only to those who have a right to it.
This rule is inspired by Benjamin Constant, who set against a simple idea: the truth is owed only to those who have a right to it. Before wounding with a truth, it has you name to whom and to what it serves, so as to spare needless harm without lying out of mere comfort. It helps you today to break hard news, give an unsparing opinion, or face someone who demands the truth in order to misuse it.
