Honesty Or Diplomacy??Can an honest person be polite or a diplomat honest?

Sincere people usually act impulsively.
They are highly confidents and altruists and they can separate and judge easy and fast the situations.
When they talk, they are a bit rude and get angry in disagreements by creating tensions.
Don’t count the emotional loading of their listener since they believe that as they say the truth, without a bad purpose, there is no cause for distress.
They are emotionally strong and facing each situation in a straight line.
Their extrovert character makes them popular and they really act for everyone's sake, but without considering the consequences of their words, frequently having enemies, because people don’t like the harsh truth.

Diplomat people usually act thoughtfully.
They are polite, flexible, doubtful and usually they are delaying to make a decision because they think twice all the parameters.
They are good listeners. When they talk are calm and avoid tensions or parallels.
Don’t want to hurt others and believe that humanity is fragile like them.
Their kind character makes them also popular and people feel nice around them.

Of course there are a lot of “bad diplomats” who act with an individual interest disregarding the needs of others and have different intentions from what they show.
But that is another topic for discussion.

But my question i believe that will never be answered....

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde

Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Maybe if we cut them in the middle ...
Sincerity and diplomacy we will have the right measure.
'Couse after all "Metron Ariston" as the Greek Ancient saying... all in good measure!!!!
