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.

Honesty is not the best policy to deal with in life. If you truly love something you will protect it, if protecting something you love especially a person means being dishonest then call me a liar. Love before honesty. Honesty is a balancing act, not too much to cause harm and not too little to become diabolical.

Satyamev Jayate is our National symbol. But in nowadays Satya is harassed and seldom wins.
One Satya or honest people are targeted by Group of Corrupt people and the system is either helpless or has no intention for the growth of honesty. Most of the people see the benefit in prevailing corruption.
This is the reason the leader or corrupt officers proclaims who's is not involved in the country if they get a chance and other says no one even the prime minister can make any harm.
But this is not true when all will involve the country will be collapsed.

I think as we progress meaning of honesty has also changed. Just speaking the truth does not mean that we are honest and it is not that we have to always speak truth to our parents, partners and friend. I think honesty is something which must come from inside. If we talk of our nation, we only talk of corruption and all but we in fact are not honest to ourself as we just don't want to take any initiative. So in my opinion honesty is something more than talking true and then only honesty is best policy.

Honesty is only good for those who have the capacity to suffer and accept the consequences with a content heart. It is not meant for people who relate everything to profit and loss terms, because till they are having profit. Honesty seems to be good. Infact very good, but loss shakes them. And honesty can go to hell. So in my thinking if you can afford to lose your dearest things for honesty its the best thing to be honest, but if you can't they be dishonest and be happy till you can. Because at last straight trees are taller than curved ones.

I think honesty is good but more honesty is not good. In the world, I don't think any is fully honest somewhere or other they would forget about it's if they follow it so I think that one deserves for that but he couldn't get because of his honesty god wants to give them. I know a person who is honest and because of his this good thing he is poor.

Good Morning Friends,
According to me, a person should honest. But in this generation honesty is missing in everyone. Depending upon the situation we will change our life. So, honesty is the important thing our satisfied life. Everyone knows our character to express our situation.
If conscience is here, then honesty is automatically role play in the situation. But, Straight trees are cut first. This is true. But everyone knows what will be true in our life. Unless otherwise, we change our lives. Be honest as you can.
Thank You.

Hi, Too much is too bad. Even a medicine consumed too much leads to health problems. Every thing in this world has limit. A person should be honest until won't hurt the feelings of others. If it hurts the feeling of other people, he should convey in a pleasing manner. Sometimes it may lead to breaking of relationship.

Hey every reader, all my life I've been honest and people have been telling me I'm different from the people I live with. All my life I've been trying to figure out what's really wrong with me and now I know my ins and outs. I'm honest, I don't think I can live a day without being honest. Friends turn to come to me whenever they're in need but are ashamed to be seen with me. I'm resigning from my job because I'm a threat to the people there. I'm going to continue living with honesty even if it kills me. I'll proudly die for my own principle. I know I've to embrace some things like being alone and work hard to be independent and I am.

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.
