Michael, I don't think it was the radical honesty, but your lack of politeness. This forum isn't about heated debate. Present your ideas in a gentlemanly manner and provide the appropriate supporting links.

This is curious statement. How would you define unity? To successfully unite, should we not be respectful to one another? Within that respect, kindness would likely allow for a peaceful coexistance.
If we are being true to ourselves in brutal honesty, we should look at the source of what triggers aggression and harsh sarcastic words. Would you say as a psychologist, this is part of your natural self? or could it simply be part of past events that we have not reconciled within ourselves, that drive us to lash out against others in retaliation to their words. To better understand what would be our transpersonal self, should not all areas of our personality be addressed?
