Yeah, it is not wise to be honest always for example if a stranger comes to you and gives you a chocolate and asks's can you tell your details we have not to tell if we tell we ill be in danger and they might kidnap us so it is not wise to be honest every time.

Yes we should be honest. We know that honest person suffers a lot in many cases. But because of this we would stop saying truth. Honesty is the best policy. Don't think of the sufferings just be honest and say truth. Don't fear of being a honest person.

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.

Being honest is not bad but depends on situation that you are in. It is easy to be honest while telling something positive but not while telling something negative. So be always but tell out when you know that it won't harm the other person.

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.

Yea all the views are reasonable from everyone's point. Being honest depends on the situation a person is in. If the person is in a very critical situation where his one lie could save other person he can be dishonest in the place.

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.

In my opinion less and more honesty doesn't mean anything. An honest person does not fear from the results or change his decision either by thinking about it. And honesty is the best policy and needs no compromise for it.

Being a straightforward person, I too was cut into pieces many times. But looking back I feel it is good to be honest. Meanwhile sometime it is good to remain silent when your honesty can create problems around you.

I fully support the statement. That's all ! In this era, 60% of the people are selfish and can do anything for their benefit's. And while taking benefits, the straight and the honest people are utilized. So I agree.
