Lie or truth are human made concepts. Only complete angels or complete idiots never lie. Often in the real world, it is hard to distinguish one from another. Lie tells about the person more than truth to a wise observer. People lie to be seen what they want to be, covering up, what they really are. So their values and interests can be seen through their lies. When people lie on a little matter they are honest on the big things. A child learns to lie in response to the lack of understanding from adults. Sometimes his/her lies are covering bad behaviours and thoughts. Sometimes their best intentions are not understood. That first choice whom and why to lie is a big thing in formation of a person. My first lie I remember it was around 5-6. My mother told me not to play with one kid as she hated her mother. When I came home I said I did not and felt no guilt. On my judgement, the girl was a good friend and our parent's affairs should not affect us. I told my own son how to lie to his grandmother at 11 when she put all his cloth into washing as he was going to see his dad whom I divorced at the time. My step daughter loved me and her father very much at 7, but her mother got very jealous and told her to do nasty things to us from about 9. And the girl chose to lie to us and follow her mother requests reporting her the "achievements". These ethical choices who me to lie and why are made very early in life and they are made by a person based on the call of conscious. I am still not sure if honesty at all possible for people who chosen to lie covering nasty deeds. They in my observation lie all the time and to everybody as suspect nastiness behind every act of others. Their bad nature closes a window for them to see that all people are different and some people are growing so light and clean inside, so they can open up to the very bottom and there is absolutely nothing inside them to be ashamed off. Honesty is a gift. Not all can get it. It is a result of very hard internal work and hard choices. One of which - do not judge others. At any point, their life can turn and their eyes can open.

Honesty makes us feel contented. We do not lie if we are honest. This might save a person who is in trouble or disrupt his/her reputation. If we are honest, people think we are trustworthy. This might strengthen or strain our relationship with others. Honesty depends on circumstances. We must act according to the situation and tackle all the problems wisely.

Being Honesty provides honour for a person.

Of Course, straight trees cut first but it takes longer time.

Moreover, honesty is a choice whether you adopt or not is at your wish and willpower.

The people who has confidence, willpower, dearness, never leave their honesty.

One more important thing is honesty must be in honesty.

Hi friends,

We should always be honest but make sure one thing that don't let other to take your advantage. Honesty is the best policy I think if people will see your honesty than they respect you and some how they try to change their attitude.

In my point of view honesty is the best policy. A honest person can thinking about what ever may be he will doing it can not effect others. An honest person does not fear about the results. An honest person can suffer some problems that problems can be easily solved. Some body escaping the problems that members can suffering through out the life. According to topic straight trees sad cut first, all people should try to be honest.

If you don't stand for anything then you will fall for everything, yes the people who select the path of being righteous may face the most difficult of the times. But at the end of it all what matters the most is what you stood for. People like Bapu, Vivekanand faced a lot of trouble when they started their journey of righteousness but they are always remembered because they stood for something they had faith in.

Some words are being used to make easy understanding in quotes etc. Not in its literal sense. That's why reader must use his/her common sense to interpret what message writer want to convey rather than just grasping word to word meaning.
