hoke Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Honesty benefits everyone because it draws us out of our little fantasy worlds and forces us to face reality and DEAL WITH IT.Lies only delay the truth; the truth eventually comes out and when it does, the lies will only add to the pain.Therefore, honesty is an essential characteristic of a decent, compassionate human being.

snoozi8 Posted June 23 Author Report Share Posted June 23 but what if your honesty comes back to kick you in the ass, or what if you are honest but then someone ends up not believing a word you say..... so what's the use in putting all the effort into it..... I mean, I could never lie to people but is there a possibilty of ever being too honest, telling too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, honesty will only come back to kick you in the ass if you've been dishonest in the past OR if the honesty you've given someone is something they didn't want to hear ( Like not using tact and being blunt about some issue that a person is REALLY sensitive about . . ) . . . In the end though, honesty is the best policy (cliched I know, but hey' its true) and sometimes, just sometimes, that blunt comment can lead to a better change in the person that received it . . . . . I'm hung over, so don't quote me . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I could never lie to people but is there a possibilty of ever being too honest, telling too much? No matter how much people try to deny it, no one's all "completely honest", or rather, "completely forthcoming" with everyone around them. We all hold little bit of information to ourselves, but I think it's important to be honest (yet tactful) about the things that you DO say.If the person can't accept you when you're being honest, why accept them?

thehacker Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 agree with rackham hoke 100%.to put it in even fewer words: truth will out.no matter what, truth will always reveal itself or be revealed.it's just a matter of how many mental obstacles are obscuring it.by that thinking, as someone who's always honest, you are seen as the purveyor of that truth, and totally wicked badass awesome as a result of it.

snoozi8 Posted June 23 Author Report Share Posted June 23 but what is all the use in being honest, and expecting from that honesty--faith and trust..... once honesty is tested=truth, but the faith and trust didn't measure up..... is it still good to be honest even if that honesty was whast created doubt ?Mike--don't quote me I'm still rolling lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugwump Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I have problems with"REALITY" sometimes..too many years of Altered statesas well as manic depression and otherpsychological bullshit makesmy world tend to be somewhatbent at times...(Though not quite as bad assay someone like John Nash)I am honest..I think what I say and visaversa..anyone that knows meknows that..IS THAT A GOOD THING?Should certain thingsbe left unsaid?(Specialy from someonewho believes evenst that oftenI am reminded never occured?)who knows..I'm not a BAD person..so I can't see why anytruth (as I might see it)could ever be a bad thing toany one...Andyet...ask me if I give a shit!I couldn't give a fuckwhat any onethinks of me..AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!

SO TRUE. The best compliment that I can grant someone is to say that he/she is genuine.Unfortunately, genuine people are not as common as, say, self-absorbed douchebags.<sigh> That's life.

dgmodel Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 lol... (im not trying to be a dick but you know what i mean) but think about it, think about how much you fib at work to the higher ups to your co workers to anybody there... if you dont want to come in, if you want to get out of conversation if you want to get out of going after hours to a company mixer... blah blah blah... see fibbing and twisting is a neccassity in life... (in certain cases) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoke Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I'll agree reluctantly that on a very impersonal level, FIBBING is occasionally one of those necessary evils... however, on a very personal level, when it comes to friends and lovers, LYING is not okay in my book.
