A Person should not be too honest; Straight Trees are cut first

Honesty, modesty, ethics, morality these are values imbibed into a person. It cannot be compromised. Just because straight trees are cut first an honest person should not stop being honest cause for an honest person it is like oxygen. If he resorts to dishonesty it will kill him in self-guilty. So irrespective of anything we should never compromise with honesty. We may be rebuked at times for our over honesty but we always should remember that honesty is a great virtue and the right person always praises honesty. Thank you.

Very often, we hear that honesty is the best policy. Infact, we have been taught by everyone to be honest. But I would like to ask, "Does honesty has any role to play in today's scenario?"No, I suppose not.

What my opinion honestly depends on situation to situation and person to person and you have to wisely consider all the aspects based on the scenario, have to take the call as per suitability. It's game of your mind and situations you can not be honest with everyone sometimes honesty put you in trouble. So think wisely before the act. For instance, if someone kidnaps my child so surely kidnapper will call me and demands Ransome and I will be treated not to inform the police, in this case, I not going, to be honest.

In today's fiercely competitive, ferocious world where honesty is dying out, one who is honest and truthful is a lone lamb. And well, it's always better to be part of the pack than to be a loner, isn't it?

Today, one needs to be as humble as a dove but at the same time as cunning as a serpent. A lie that yields the good to others is truth itself. In fact, it's better than the truth.

I believe life is a culmination of sacrifices and the good deeds you do, So be honest till your honesty is not taken as gullibility and weakness. Be kind till you are not affected.

Honesty is important when someone wants to hear that but in today's time, no one wants to listen what you think about them. They only want to listen to nice things from you or the things that is convenient for them.

I think honesty is the best policy because being honest will give you mental peace. You don't have to live with guilt because you lied. If you are always honest with people you don't have to remember the lie you told them. The other person will always trust you. Being honest with someone shows character and shows that you trust them enough to let them know that you tell the truth and nothing but the truth. When someone feels you are honest with them they tend to trust you more and this builds a strong relationship. It also assures the other person that you are trustworthy. Dishonest people don't get second chances when they lie because people are going to think they are always lying to them.

I do believe staying honest all the time doesn't help. At times you have to go off road because people misuse use our honesty & sometimes we land up creating trouble for ourselves.

Yes, I agree with it. I think it depends on the situation. We can't behave same in every situation. To do something successfully or to gain profit we can not handle situation too honestly. Sometimes silence can solve many problems.

Honest makes our mind satisfied, we should remember that whatever we do good that will carry forward to our future ie our life and children. If we are honest our children will be same.

Yes, sometimes we need to choose different path, always honesty hurts ourself as well as sometimes other.
