Hello Alisa,

Thanks very much for your comments. Indeed, the framework I provided in the post for forthrightness is a more detailed version of the Buddhist "thought-word-deed" framework. I think of forthrightness as a more perfect honesty. Not only do you speak the truth, but you volunteer it as well. To me when there is inspiration-imagination-thought-word-deed you are moving true insight into expression. Does that help to explain why I thought the framework was useful?

With smiles,

Jason
