Yeah it seems like the parent is thinking that being rude and blunt is the only way to maintain integrity. It’s actually surprisingly easy to maintain integrity and be a likeable person.
- PavlovsCat 8y agoJust think of the the protagonist in "Shawshank Redemption". I don't mean "look, how easy", but I would be surprised if most people don't respect that character in some form. He doesn't hate others, he's not arrogant, he just also doesn't give in, and I would say he holds on to integrity for his own as well as everybodies' sake, not as something he wants just for himself to then judge others with. Even if it ended differently, I think most people would still say "good for him" for how he carries himself. Ultimately, I think communities, at least smaller ones in real life that aren't dysfunctional, are really good at knowing where one's heart is at, and that matters more than anything.
