My schedule is filled up so I'll make this quick! Honesty is something frowned upon. Because everyone has to turn the "freak-out" button when we give our honest opinion! It seems as though no one is honest anymore! Regular citizens and politicians (but you already knew that). I find it humorous how our parents told us to never tell lies and yet we never listen. I find a small child much more honest than a grown adult. Why is that? But with all that put aside I haven't found a person who is completely blunt honest. Now I'm not saying I'm 100% honest because... I do lie. Do you think the world will be a better place if no one lied to us? Tell me in the comments below! I have to read opinions!

H is for Honesty

I think there are times when lies are a necessary thing. You know, little white lies. If everyone were brutally honest, well, there would be a lot of egos crushed and hearts broken unnecessarily.
ReplyDeleteFor example (and this is a bit extreme but it's the first thing that popped up 'cause I read about it today):
Someone with dimentia has forgotten important events from their past. She often asks who will cook dinner for her son. She's told that her son died 5 years earlier, and she becomes anguished all over again. It is best to say his wife will make dinner for him, and since her short term memory is very short, she will forget about it and move on to something else.
That's the not so pretty side of honesty. It sometimes is heart breaking.
DeleteHonesty is good, but it can also be very hurtful. I will rather spare another persons feelings, then telling them an unnecessary truth. Some things are better to keep for your self to worry about.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, unless someone is begging for the honest truth... but that's rare.
DeleteI think you can be honest but still be subtle about it. It takes some work but many times it can be done. Then it becomes a win/win situation
