Honest is not the same as unkind.
The point of honesty is to avoid unkindness.
To others. To yourself.

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last… These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as is vice from virtue. Men too often confound them: they should not be confounded: appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines, that only tend to elate and magnify a few, should not be substituted for the world.
