A lot of problems what is caused in todays world is because of compromising. People tend to sit their best foot forward in hopes of receiving more attention. This kind of action leads to all kinds of complications. From the person being spoken to having illusions of grandeur, to the person who is being untruthful bringing their own demise. A person of a wise disposition will usually easily see through deception, and will rather be grateful to a person speaking their own mind.

If you want to end up somewhere in life where you hope to be content with yourself, it is better to speak your mind than trying to deceive or please other people. Even if your deception might be aligned to what you want, you might be not so happy as you might think once you achieve goal.

Be truthful (especially to yourself), be happy.
