Should I Be Politically Correct?

Many people ask themselves should I be politically correct? Often it seems that being politically correct is the safest policy for your career, family relations or when discussing issues with friends. But if one never says the truth for fear it might offend are they being honest? Which is more important to have personal integrity or to be PC? That is the question.

Many will complain about your behavior if you say the truth but it could be offensive to someone? They pretend to take the highroad and tell you where you are wrong for saying something that is true, because it is not a nice thing to say. For instance if one says, you know all those International Terrorists who attack us during 911 were Muslim. Oh you cannot say such things because that is not fair to Muslims. And they say a true Muslim would never do such a thing.

Indeed and probably they wouldn’t but those murderers truly believed in Muslim and even did their acts on behalf of Allah or so they claimed. But you cannot say that, even though it is fact that the 911 murderers were all Muslim. This is not to say that this particular is against any religion, fore it is not, this is just one example of our PC world. If someone says your behavior is inappropriate for saying the truth, then perhaps their PC is inappropriate for living a lie.

Perhaps they are right by the new standards in society of telling truth, your behavior really is inappropriate but by whose standards. Should one call an ace an ace and a spade, a spade; why should you or me or them or anyone for that matter deny actual observation? To make everyone who is drown in Political Correctness feel warm and fuzzy; why if fore if one said otherwise and went along with the PC then they would be lying? Is the new paradigm in society to lie and see something that is not there? Are they now asking us to lie and live a lie in political correctness like the rest of humanity? How does that make you feel? Do you agree or disagree? Are you reality based or PC? Are you alive and alert or are you dead and deny your own observations? Think on it.
