During my torturous encounter with Nol outside of my home, one of the things that she kept screaming at me was that I had no Filter. That was funny/crazy and actually fairly sad to me as I believe that not having a filter is mostly a good thing.
If it’s good enough for the Stones…it’s good enough for me.
But – seriously this gets me to thinking…. As long as you’re not hurtful or mean, do you really want or even need a filter with friends? Is that a way of telling a true friend? Is that a way of being your true and authentic proud self and friend. It is important to be a good communicator, equally important to be as honest as possible. Treat people with respect. Your best friends are the friends that have no filter. Those are the people I want in my life. This goes hand in hand with my thoughts on transparency (more on that in a later blog). Honesty among friends is really the best policy. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it’s not cool to hurt a friend., yet at the same time be the friend that someone can always rely on to tell the truth in the most compassionate possible way 💕 Questions that I ponder, and, I have to ask the question – Nol’s screaming at me – still trying to figure out…was that exactly a very bad example of not having a filter?
