The Best Policy?

I think it's safe to say we all appreciate honesty. I don't think we always like it. Honesty can be a hard thing sometimes. we worry of the results of our honesty. If nothing else it's sure to maintain a respect to some degree, no matter what the situation. It always takes a bigger person to be honest, it shows great integrity and respect for someone you care about.

There are problems with being honest, and we are all victims of it at times. We love to hear what we like to hear as people, we love hearing the honesty of good things or things that favor us. But honesty can be a hurtful thing as well. To quote a rap song "harsh reality's the case like when you spit in the wind, it might come back in your face." Some people simply can't handle the truth. the truth is such a brutal thing sometimes, the truth in any capacity is a harsh reality good or bad. I think we struggle, I know I do. I'm an honest man, but I also don't want to make people to take things the wrong way. It's such a thin line, this thing called honesty is a gift and a curse. Being honest is one of those never ending cases of "easier said than done," but it's so mandatory for your growth as a person as we prepare to be major players in this world.

Honesty translates into so many things, admiration, respect, pain, disdain, dislike, anger, and happiness. All of those adjectives don't always work in your favor but for a full holistic experience you need all of these emotions at one time or another. As harsh as it seems some people can't handle the truth, but they have to hear it, they may deny it but it is best for them. At a later time they will appreciate it. Long story short to be honest will always be the best policy, not always for the short term but the long term for sure, be well.
