The Laingian concept of #hypersanity, though modern, has ancient roots.

Once, upon being asked to name the most #beautiful of all things, #Diogenes the Cynic (412-323 BCE) replied #parrhesia, which in Ancient Greek means something like ‘uninhibited #thought’, ‘free #speech’, or ‘full #expression’.

This post examines a cluster of #virtues that includes #straightforwardness, #frankness, #sincerity, #earnestness, #candor, and #parrhêsia.

These virtues have to do with communicating in a way that is clear, precise, efficient, and useful. They show respect for those you are communicating with by “giving it to them straight” and not forcing a lot of second-guessing and interpretation.
