He told his friend he thought about the previous night’s conversation and wanted to say his goodbyes now, at dinner.

His friend had said how he has suffered enough in his life and that death would be a welcomed relief. He wasn’t contemplating suicide, but simply stating that if he died, his pain would be gone.

Fear is a bloody liar. So the conversation last night included a goodbye, just to bring peace to the joyful person.

Pretty sure it caught the tired person off guard.

Authenticity is strength. And peace.

No secrets.

But still use our best judgement.

Odds much lower that the taker’s motives are good and decent.

Why then would anyone question the giver?

Because history has revealed some really selfish givers. No?

If you worked together again, would he write his recommendation like this?

‘Probably’, can be misconstrued (so leave no doubt next time)

 

Haven’t worked with Paul in a long, long time. A boss at one time and one of the funniest, and most skilled presenters ever. Nothing he can not do in front of an audience. He brings the house down with his bag pipe playing. Phenomenal.

If we worked together now, he would write his recommendation like this:

Absolutely the most honest and ethical person I’ve ever worked with. Period.

Bold?
