The Kindness of Setting You Straight

"I hate being wrong, but I love it when I am set straight."
― Harlan Ellison

A woman I know has a very good friend who sets her straight every now and again.  I guess you could call it tough love.  Sometimes, this friend gives her professional advice; sometimes, it's personal.  It always comes from a place of love, but it also is very directive.  Recently, she told the woman I know, "You have to make your own happiness."  Hopefully, we all have friends who are kind enough to tell us what we need to hear, even when it is not what we would like to hear.
