The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere.
Anne
Morrow Lindbergh
I have always loved Anne Morrow's Lindbergh's writing. (Check out her book GIFT FROM THE SEA for a really good read.)
As she states, being insincere takes effort. It's hard remembering what lie you told whom. Lies come in all forms and we don't always recognize them.
Being sincere also takes effort. It requires thought to find the right words said in the right tone and at the right time. But the results are worth it.
This I know for sure: insincerity is an insult to both the one who delivers it and the recipient.
