An honest man is the noblest work of god. But this is rare. As a man born honest cannot remain so throughout his life. He has to use his brains when he is surrounded by 80% dishonest people. And from that point he is regarded as dishonest. Lastly I would like to say that in a country like India dishonesty is truly respected. Being honest here is either a joke or a slang and you are forced to bend yourself.

Yes, to be honest is a good thing and honesty is the best policy the policy itself sys to be honest. If we are honest to everyone that it self shows we are honest to ourselves. Honesty is not approved by everyone. Be honest atleast to ourselves in our society. The values are most important to our lives so honesty is must.

Yeah I agree being honest is important but that does not mean you need to be as simple & straightforward as a child. Honesty can also be viewed in other frame as not cheating someone you are working with or living with, being honest does not mean you always have to bow down to others command or have your own loss for the benefit of others.

Honesty is the best policy. This is taught to us right from our childhood. We should be honest but in today's world too much of honesty won't be good. Hence be honest to those people who are honest to you.

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 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, honesty is really best policy honest people always wins and they are remembered in life and also after life. The history is witness of this that there are numbers of people who were honest and now they are considered as successful people. Our nation believe in SATYAMEVA JAYETE (Truth alone prevails). So we should be honest first with our-self then with others.
