honesty

Not long ago, I got into a topic with a friend about honesty? or should I say about being frank? Is a little white lie to spare someone’s feelings a good thing? Is honesty really the best policy… It made me curious about my attitude... I can't consider it as being plastic or not being honest to someone.

I took an honesty quiz online…Here is my score and what it said about me…

Your score is 56. You try to tell the truth most of the time but like the rest of us are torn when the truth may hurt someone you love or when it seems to be more destructive than helpful. When faced with having to tell a little white lie, you know the ins and outs but you get lost when it comes to telling a truth that may cause harm or hurt. You’re only human and nobody likes to be the bearer of bad news but in the end you choose to bury the truth far too often.

We all like to think that we are good and honest people but even the best among us can be untruthful at times. We are only human and we all make mistakes, we all tell fibs and we all engage in a little dishonesty from time to time. But there are those among us who take things to far and make a habit out of being a sneak. So where do you fit on the honesty spectrum?


For me, as long as it doesn't affect my life, my relationship with a certain person - it's just fine to stay unaffected unless it's not tolerable already... it's just a matter of being open-minded and sensitive to one's feelings! It's more inappropriate and inconsiderate to just throw comments or opening your mouth without thinking twice or thrice... you'll never know... you are already hurting someone close to your heart. Just think about how you'll feel if it's the other way around...
