WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/whitman-walt/74677/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Whitman</a><blockquote>I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain’d, I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.</blockquote>Walt Whitman (1819-1892) American poet Poem (1855), “Song of Myself,” sec. 32, l. 684ff, Leaves of Grass Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/whitman-walt/74677/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/whitman-walt/74677/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animals</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humancondition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humancondition</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simplicity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=straightforwardness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#straightforwardness</a>

David GrossThis post examines a cluster of <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/virtues" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#virtues</a> that includes <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/straightforwardness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#straightforwardness</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/frankness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#frankness</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/sincerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sincerity</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/earnestness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#earnestness</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/candor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#candor</a>, and <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/parrh%C3%AAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#parrhêsia</a>.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.<a href="https://www.lesswrong.com/s/xqgwpmwDYsn8osoje/p/haikNyAWze9SdBpb6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.lesswrong.com/s/xqgwpmwDYsn8osoje/p/haikNyAWze9SdBpb6</a>
