It is not necessary to say the truth because if we are eating with our friend's money & his father saw & he said "from where you have brought money" then at that time we should say lie & save our friend. The lie which speaks to save anybody it is not considered lie.

In today's world, the acceptable norm isn't what's the truth but what's politically correct. Political correctness is rooted in dishonesty, not sensitivity. The basis for any communication isn't rooted on right or wrong. Rather it's grounded in the Pavlovian principle of reward and punishment. Saying the right thing will get you rewarded. Saying the wrong thing will get you punished. People have become so steeped in this that they instinctively learn to not say anything if they know it's going to be something you're not going to like. That's why they'll make commitments they have no intentions of honoring, appointments even if they know they won't be there. Then dodge your calls your emails your texts even turn off their voicemail. And if they feel the person they're dealing with isn't stable. They're. Not going to be truthful with them.
Customer service reps will lie to customers and send them on wild goose chases to get them off the phone. And political correctness has made today's world like navigating thru s land mine. Today you really have to watch your P's and Qs. If you do or say anything someone doesn't like they'll smile in your face and never let you know you've crossed them. But could be your undoing. Saying the right thing could get you that raise or promotion. The wrong thing and precious gets the hose. So people learn to instinctively lie to protect themselves.

Yes, In this creative money minded universe there is no human who is 100% honesty. Every pupil in this country is selfish. Every time speaking honest keeps a person in difficulty. Honesty does not suggest that every time you should speak truth, according to the situation we should go ahead. Being honest all the time push you in difficultly by someone. EXAMPLE Many enemies will develop against you, it also causes your family in difficulty. In epics, we also saw that even Darmaraj has spoken dishonestly if he doesn't speak dishonestly they would die in a field. THANKING YOU FRIENDS I AM STUDYING ONLY 10 CLASS HOW MANY POINTS MAY I GEY. THIS MUST BE HONEST.

Hello, people.
I do feel that we should be honest where its meant to be. When we are having a general perspective of doing things honestly, we may face a lot of failures and other people near you may use your honesty to their advantage and you may get fooled. Hence we should delegate things, where to show our honesty and where not to.

Truth and honesty are not two sides of the same coin although most of the time they are paired but not always. Sometimes lie becomes honesty and speaking truth become dishonesty because these things are relative, not absolute hence once should be logical and wise to do so. Make Honesty as your default behavior. Do not use dishonesty unscrupulously as weapon to fulfill your unjust, mean and mere selfish desire. Sometimes you feel that if you speak the truth then you or your family will be in big trouble or it may have some dangerous consequence then do not speak truth. If know that you do not have any good or just intention but just want to damage other using truth as weapon then do not do it. For example army officer told truth about country defense to other enemy countries that may damage his country then such army officer become dishonest by speaking truth and citizen of that country do not give him big hand for this betrayal. If same army officer speaks lie to deceive enemy country to protect his country then this officer become Honorable, Honest and patriotic army officer.

Question is when is honesty too much honesty? Is blunt the same as being inconsiderate of another's feelings and how they will be affected by your opinion. Straight trees are cut first so yes, it achieves a height but that will forever be the height it will EVER achieve since it is now cut down. While other trees still survive to grow. Straight trees are cut quickly, other trees are able to survive and while it may take awhile the other tree will grow to be bigger since it was never cut down.
