Trying to be honest, while protecting your own is difficult.

Diplomacy is a tactile act.

It needs an accurate read of the room.

Hedge where you need, and be upfront other places.

There is an impetus on being frank with the hedging, helps both parties.

Caution needs to be heeded.

You need to be in control of yourself.

Ah… self-control.

What a myth.

Anyway, always learning.
