I am no coward…

Don’t lie to me, don’t cheat

I am no coward, I can take the heat

Be a human stand on your two feet

And tell me the truth straight and neat.

    Day one: truth hurts
    Day two: Everything that hurts in not always truth :)

    Me: Profound statements on bathroom walls?? Unbelievable!! :P

  6. I think you changed the word Man to Human in order to appear to be politically correct???

    Me: Right! Coz this failure to look you in the eye and say the truth is not linked to gender. Both genders qualify equally.

  8. Absolutely. I said this to someone just a couple days ago: “Learn to call a spade a spade. If you cannot, leave it alone. But don’t call it something it isn’t till you learn to tell it like it is.” Uncanny that you post it now.

    Loved this one!

    Me: Glad to know the punch was conveyed. I get irritated with people who cannot tell the truth as it is. Is it themselves they are afraid of or the do they fear I would crumble??!!! :P
