Hello, people.

I do feel that we should be honest where its meant to be. When we are having a general perspective of doing things honestly, we may face a lot of failures and other people near you may use your honesty to their advantage and you may get fooled. Hence we should delegate things, where to show our honesty and where not to.

Hello friends,

I am Meenu Arora and very well to know about this proverb, we never go in this fight.

But if we all are going to a team work then we will definitely win the target. How it's so simple all are knows about this when we make a pearls necklaces we took special pearls from our collection so if we make a team every pearl is countable with his/her best behavior. In the office girls are work under presser she always thinks this if I intercept in anywhere everyone caught their words and others are teasing on her straight forward way.so,moral is this we will walk together we will definitely win our target with our teamwork .without team works it's not possible.which team I have chosen all are good.all are master list n their field.teamwork is the base of every organization.and second understood to each other and listen to them to each other.

Yes, In this creative money minded universe there is no human who is 100% honesty. Every pupil in this country is selfish. Every time speaking honest keeps a person in difficulty. Honesty does not suggest that every time you should speak truth, according to the situation we should go ahead. Being honest all the time push you in difficultly by someone. EXAMPLE Many enemies will develop against you, it also causes your family in difficulty. In epics, we also saw that even Darmaraj has spoken dishonestly if he doesn't speak dishonestly they would die in a field. THANKING YOU FRIENDS I AM STUDYING ONLY 10 CLASS HOW MANY POINTS MAY I GEY. THIS MUST BE HONEST.

In today's world, the acceptable norm isn't what's the truth but what's politically correct. Political correctness is rooted in dishonesty, not sensitivity. The basis for any communication isn't rooted on right or wrong. Rather it's grounded in the Pavlovian principle of reward and punishment. Saying the right thing will get you rewarded. Saying the wrong thing will get you punished. People have become so steeped in this that they instinctively learn to not say anything if they know it's going to be something you're not going to like. That's why they'll make commitments they have no intentions of honoring, appointments even if they know they won't be there. Then dodge your calls your emails your texts even turn off their voicemail. And if they feel the person they're dealing with isn't stable. They're. Not going to be truthful with them.

Customer service reps will lie to customers and send them on wild goose chases to get them off the phone. And political correctness has made today's world like navigating thru s land mine. Today you really have to watch your P's and Qs. If you do or say anything someone doesn't like they'll smile in your face and never let you know you've crossed them. But could be your undoing. Saying the right thing could get you that raise or promotion. The wrong thing and precious gets the hose. So people learn to instinctively lie to protect themselves.

It is not necessary to say the truth because if we are eating with our friend's money & his father saw & he said "from where you have brought money" then at that time we should say lie & save our friend. The lie which speaks to save anybody it is not considered lie.

Honesty is good, yeah honestly telling, it is good to some extent but a person knows that after telling a truth it will ruin someone in any sense then it become. Also, we heard from somewhere that honesty is good policy but on the same side it's not the LAW, so it depends on the situation.

FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANX TO INDIABIX FOR GIVING ME THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY OPINION.

Actually, no one in this world is 100% honest. An honest person faces many hurdles on their way.

Nowadays there is no need of honest people. You must have heard that straight trees are cut first.

But terms and condition apply means if you are in the relationship you have to be honest otherwise you will not able to continue your relationship.

A person tries to be more honest they always be in deep water.

The most important thing is that "you must be honest with your nation".

Thanks to my friends & readers. I hope you will satisfy.

I also agree honesty is the best policy ad strictly follow it too. But at times we need to hide our cards. To flourish and to make a say in the society.

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.
