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

Honesty is a positive thing and lying is negative. But we all have this perception that honesty will always lead to good and lying will always result in bad. The decision to be honest or to lie should depend upon the end result that your truth or lie may result into.

According to my point of view honest is good. A honest person can do his work without cheating where as too honest may become target of people can easily cheated. For example if find 1000 rs on road and you asking everyone it belongs you or you. Suddenly one person said that it is mine. You would give to him. Later you find that it does not belongs him. In that case you feel unhappy. So we show like honest not too honest.

Very true! This does hold good at least these days. One can not really survive being completely honest and innocent. As there is always someone waiting for an innocent to get fooled.

Hi I am Akshata, I wanna say, we should be honest towards our family, husband and wife relationship, and when you deal with society and customers and your suppliers and If your business man, or any doctor, police officers, political parties all should be honest but they don't. So ultimately we only have to face difficulties in our common life. Be honest and your business honestly.

Honestly being honest is going to bring your true self in close connection with the almighty and you will be attempted to be examined by giving you troubles in your professional and personal life.

Honesty will make you angry for fraudulent behaviour and your expectations will never get fulfilled because you will invite trouble from folks who are jealous of your purity and will try setting up false images of you to make people trouble you. Life will undergo revenge from folks who disliked you competing with them. This will cause weird and bad situations, Spying on your activities, and using political, managerial folks, customer care folks, high end connections will help revengeful folks manage taking revenge. So don't be target of anybody honestly. Thank you.

This is true, honesty is not always the best policy. Some situations or places require you to be silent or not speak out. Some robbers may enter your house, and they may ask for your locker key so they don't need to break, as it may cause noise and awaken others. If people staying in the house give the key, then they take everything and leave instead they tell someone has taken it out, and they may take a long time to come, and even they don't have the option of breaking or waiting till the person returns.
