“The Importance of Balance in Social Life

Friendliness, truthfulness, and humor are vital traits in how we connect with others.

• Friendliness is about being kind but not fake.
• Truthfulness is about being honest but not boastful.
• A good sense of humor makes life fun, but it should never be used to hurt others.

In all social situations, the best person is the one who finds the right balance - not too much and not too little of each virtue.”
