I need to work on my "Blunt Wordings"

1 John 4:21 (The Message) The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You've got to love both. I need to work on my "bluntness" in my communication with others. At times, I am very DIRECT. Sometimes to direct that I may have hurt someone's feelings. At times I didn't know that until my wife mentions to me that sometimes my bluntness can hurt feelings. From my experience as a "deaf" person. There are differences between deaf people and hearing people: developmental and cultural in communication style. Deaf people communicate more bluntly than hearing people. Within the educational process, deaf students are taught more direct and more blunt than normal hearing education system. Deaf people are very blunt with each other. If one Deaf person thinks that another is portly, he will say so. Deaf people find no need to use politically correct terms or make indirect statements because they lose meaning. Sometimes I see the Bible as very "blunt" because many of the statements made by Jesus, the prophets, apostles and others were very, very blunt. From "The Message" Mark 10:27 Jesus was blunt: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it." Romans 15:15 So, my dear friends, don't take my rather bold and blunt language as criticism. It's not criticism. I'm simply underlining how very much I need your help in carrying out this highly focused assignment God gave me,
