The Attitude

Ally takes a case where she needs to try and change a Rabbi's mind about a religious topic. She goes to talk to him in his temple, and is quite rude. The Rabbi does not take too kindly to this, and this is not good for Ally's client. Ally goes back to apologise, but ends up being rude again. In the end the Rabbi actually finds it funny, and finally decides that it is great. He later explains that most people don't speak their mind when talking to him since he's become a Rabbi - that it was refreshing to finally hear what someone really thinks. It got me thinking whether I don't speak my mind round certain people, and it's probably true. There are things left unsaid at times because of politeness. Is this good? or is honesty in all occasions best?
