For one day, without consequence, everyone could be completely honest and say what's been on their mind. What would you say?

Even if I could do so with no consequences, there isn't much of anything I wouldn't say that I don't say already. I don't think being given a day to be honest would feel like much of a free pass to me. For one thing, I believe there is a right and wrong regardless of consequences to myself or the resulting outcome.

For another, I guess I've seen too many people be "honest" when they are really using that as an excuse to be cruel or hurtful, or just plain snotty. If something troublesome has been on my mind, I have many different choices in terms of dealing with it. Physical work, listening to music, writing it down to get it off my chest and think it over, distracting myself with errands or a drive, reading a book, playing with the dogs, and any number of other things.

One thing about it, when something happens outside our home that I find particularly annoying, I can almost always find the humor in it by talking about it with my husband. If something important enough to bring up is going on within our home or family, and it would actually help the situation to discuss it, then you can bet I'd be bringing it up regardless of how angry anyone would become because that's how I am already. When it comes to serious conflict from the past or unfinished business with other people, I think we know in our hearts what we've done and what mistakes we've made, and pointing those things out to someone isn't usually the kind or useful thing to do.

I'd rather let it go and leave it in the dust of the past. youtube.com/watch?v=95tmYmeHf84.

I would tell my son in law what a worthless piece of crap I think he is! That I don't approve of the way he bosses her around and constantly yells at the kids. Why haven't I done it already?

Because my daughter asked me not to and says it would just make him worse.

I would tell my next door neighbor that he is an uncouth boor without any semblance of a decent upbringing whatsoever. I do not say this to him because he has a very naive wife who is a truly generous caring woman and I would not want to hurt her feelings. How she ended up with him is beyond belief.

I wouldn't say anything. I would run for my life. It would be chaos.

Actually, I'm not sure anyone could survive the day without some kind of personal injury. Or death, of course. I guess your question included the presumption of no consequences, but I'd love to know how that could be enforced.

People would save their revenge for the next day, week, month, year, decade, or even generation if they had to.

If there were no consequences, I would definitely tell the managers at my work what I think they are doing wrong, and how I have seen their actions harm our clients and staff. Of course, I don't say it because I need the job, and being too honest at work usually damages your career, even if not immediately. I would also be honest with my mom, and let her know what the consequences have been of some of her parenting choices.

I would not tell her this in actuality however, because it would hurt her feelings quite a bit. If I could somehow tell her without any negative effects, it would be healing for me, but it's not worth it if it actually damages our relationship. Unfortunately, it's often not worth being honest.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
