This Jon Stewart quote reminded me of another by Chekhov:
“There should be more sincerity and heart in human relations, more silence and simplicity in our interactions. Be rude when you’re angry, laugh when something is funny, and answer when you’re asked.”
– Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

It’s too early for my rant on the impact technology has had on honesty in relationships. I will say though that I have that Jon Stewart quote archived as well – brilliant. Not me, that is – the quote.

Love this. Dave. Living with integrity brings so much peace and contentment, but it is not always easy to do. (I think I value healthy eating, but ate a lot of junk all weekend.) I was tested and failed! I suppose my healthy eating is more a hobby. Back on track today. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.

Following Chekhov’s advice could make for some regrets on the anger advice.

Yes, yes it could. But folks would certainly know where you stand.

A values-based life is one that has touchstones along the path. We know who we are and where we are headed even though the next step is unclear. Know my values.
