Correctness (May 8)

There are certain things that you will absolutely not talk about in specific circumstances. Perhaps there is someone in the room that you know will not take kindly to what you are about to say or perhaps it is something greater that society or your particular small society thinks to be taboo to address. Is it really correct to let the circumstances change who you are and what you decide to talk about? This is not an issue of simply you would not like to talk about this with this person at this time but rather this is something that you simply never want to talk about. There are several problems with this from a general perspective. The first is that you choose to become someone guarded and thus not your true self in this instance. You simply put on a mask and become the person that you think the others around you want you to be. This is a similar situation to doing and saying things that you would not normally do because of the company you are around and the difference between these two is for the individual to decide. The second problem is simply that big issues simply will not be talked about because the culture, for whatever reason, has decided that the topic is off limits. This then leaves how one learns about this topic to the greater culture that is talking about it and perhaps talking about it in a manner that honestly isn't correct. The larger or outside influence is in the very least being genuine and thus more correct than those who are not talking aobut it in an open and honest way.
