How Important Honesty to You?

Nowadays, it is very rare to find somebody who is truly honest in all aspects in life. I can say it is like searching a needle in a haystack which is so hard and quite impossible. Besides, I believe we are just ordinary human that full of sins. Sometimes, I admit myself as a hypocrite person. I ever lied and been lied as well.

The hard situation for me is when I see people are lying in front of myself. To me, it is worst to know such liar. However, i can't even say that I'm honest but at least I try my best not to lie and see the situation.

So, how important honesty to you? Does it effect to your life? So what's the best solution to get rid of the liar?

  • Hey, BeckyCollins! I'm so sorry to heat that from you :( 

    Well, may be you have your reasons why you can not say the truth to that person. It may be can cause a huge impact for your life as well. I have nothing to say because it's too personal. But maybe someday you can try to be honest to that person and see the magic will happen. Thanks for sharing here, I hope you have a good life :)

    The topic of honesty for me is very delicate, I do my best to be honest with myself, with my family. But there is one person in my life who I cheated a lot, and not because he's bad, or I'm bad. NO, because there were such situations after which I just could not tell the truth. And one lie entails the second, the third, and you can not stop (at least I can not stop to do this with that person). I do not know why so, maybe I'm afraid to hurt. Although, when I think about it, the feeling has been hurt since long time ago.

    I do agree, it's kinda impossible thing if we say that we never tell lies. Back then to the reality that we are only an ordinary and full of sins human

  • Hello jack wang 

    Yes, nowadays most of people are lying to hide those dirty thing in their heart. But I also still believe that few people tell lie in such a good and proper situation. Thanks for your comments!

  • Hey Rosemary 

    I see the point of your comments. We better to settle honesty at some situation. I know that being honest is a kind of important thing, but as you said it sometimes act like a sharp knife that could murder the person itself. Also I ever heard in Islam, that we can tell a good lie, for an instance like what you had elaborated. When somebody asked me, "how are you doing?" and I say "I'm doing fine" but actually I'm not really fine at that moment. A good lie means if the honesty will harm us even though we are right. So, lies will always be wrong if it just to cover our mistakes. Btw, I like your mom's story :) thanks for the comments

  • Dear Luci

    Thank you for the comments! Well tbh that person lies behind me, secretly, and I came to know it. But you're also right that we have to forgive those who lie to us.

  • You have yourself said: "searching a needle in a haystack"

    So how can we find one?  Every one of us a 'hypocrite'.

    Then just try to seek it within yourself.  At least we make our own self HONEST (at least somewhat)

  • HONESTY is the foundation sometimes it's better to keep things to your self but don't go around lying It's hard to be honest but not impossible it's feel really good when you are honest with someone...

  • Why lieing? It's first problem. In my mind, The reason of lieing is for hiding some dirty in their heart, They aware those dirty but can not change themselves, So they prefer hiding them and only show dignity in front of public. 

    I often say that I don't lie because there isn't more dirty existed in my mind, if I still have some of them, I even dare to tell people that I'm not the perfect person. That's it.

  • I am trying to be honest... just sometimes I am not honest with myself - that's the worst maybe :D
    I would say virtuality which give ppl fake identity make of many of them people who are not sincere - at least I can kinda sense it from this place :D
    If sb lies to you and you know the truth - this person disrespects you and that's why you should try to explain it to them.. ofc it is hard when sb makes idiots of us ...ofc it hurts..
    Anyway.. we should also forgive and give the second chance.. however if the same repeats over and over again - then I think it is time to say bye-bye...
