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

If you don't stand for anything then you will fall for everything, yes the people who select the path of being righteous may face the most difficult of the times. But at the end of it all what matters the most is what you stood for. People like Bapu, Vivekanand faced a lot of trouble when they started their journey of righteousness but they are always remembered because they stood for something they had faith in.

Hi everyone.

I don't accept with the topic, because honesty alone prevails. We all are honest by our birth but its so difficult to maintain the honesty. Infact being honest depends upon the situation that we face. We all are a honest person until we caught into a consequences. So being dishonest may provide you fame, money and everything but being honest we can remain in the heart of the people.

Honesty is the policy that our country follows. So, be honest till your life.

So all I want to say is honesty alone prevails.

Thank you.

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.

In an ideal world being honest is a nice ideal. In the real world however being honest can open yourself up to those who are morally bankrupt and opportunist to pursue you and harm you.

Yes, tell the truth if you are safe to do so and you know that you will avoid being attacked or targeted but remember to protect yourself. Lying is a useful tool.

Balance your lies with your truths.

Be safe.

Honesty is a good thing should be adopted by everyone from their childhood yes I agree that straight trees are cut first but they look nice in nature like that a honest person also looks nice in society and will accepted by the society will identify easily by people in a group.

Being Honesty provides honour for a person.

Of Course, straight trees cut first but it takes longer time.

Moreover, honesty is a choice whether you adopt or not is at your wish and willpower.

The people who has confidence, willpower, dearness, never leave their honesty.

One more important thing is honesty must be in honesty.

Honesty is just being true to oneself and others. It's meaning cannot be changed. There is no doubt that being Honest makes oneself to put with lot of consequences in many ways. But that is where the strength as a Person lies. I still believe HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. And fruit for being HONEST pays in time.

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.

I believe in honesty, but it does not work all the time. You can't be sincere and straight in all your relationships, for example you can't be too honest with your gf, if everyone is so, then relationships would no longer persists and sometimes being honest works much better. So its all depends on the person who is gonna receive your words. You should decide yourself to be mildly honest or greatly honest depending upon others.

I would stay honest rather than having lots of gold and silver but no sleep. I believe honesty and hard work takes more time to succeed in what so called Good life. But the real good life is how honestly you do things that gives total satisfaction not me or my family but to the contribution of this society. Being fair to others begins with our honesty. If everybody start to be dishonest, the world will be more corrupt and people would steal from others and live a immoral life. Hence the adage which you say "Person should not be too honest; Straight Trees are cut first" is not right.
