No We dont know where honesty is hiding.\nSome one asked me where is SATHYAM (HONESTY translated in Sanskrit). I said it is hiding inside ASATHYAM(DISHONESTY again in Sanskrit language)I shall explain it now with a real incident that happened 40 years back in India\nA friend of mine phoned to the telephone exchange and told his contact man there to connect him to XYZ at another city 3000 miles away.Then he said make the call LIGHTNING( meaning 8 times the normal cost) and said come and collect your REWARD in the evening and said not a penny(paise) more or otherwise I would hand over you to the police. REMEMBER THERE IS NO NUMBER TWO (UNDERHAND DEALINGS) IN NUMBER TWO BUSINESS.The REWARD amount was just a nominal amount and the entire transaction goes unrecorded and not to be billed.\n\nIn Calcutta Maidan(playgrounds)there used to be some middlemen/hawker type travel agents who would arrange railway ticket reservation by any class to any place in India (40 years back the system were manual and 10 days in advance one has to stand in Q at times from midnight though the reservation counter opens at 06.00 AM only). The agent would note few alternative class of travel as well as alternate dates , in case of summer rush, and would collect FULL FARE AMOUNT. For higher class travel the amount used to be substantial. Some one new to Calcutta went to one agent and furnished all details but after handing over the cost of ticket asked for some sort of receipt. The agent immediately got wild and told the client RECEIPT WHAT RECEIPT WE DONT GIVE RECEIPT WE DEAL IN THOUSANDS DAILY IT IS ALL ON WORD OF MOUTH DO YOU THINK WE WOULD RUN AWAY WITH YOUR MONEY IF YOU DONT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR SYSTEM WE DONT ACCEPT YOU AS CLIENT PLEASE TAKE BACK YOUR MONEY AND VACATE THE PLACE I HAVE PEOPLE WAITING TO TALK TO ME AND I HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE ON YOU.IF YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE PLEASE COME HERE BY AFTERNOON TWO O CLOCK AND ASK FOR BISWAS BABU IF I GET RESERVATION I GIVE YOU TICKETS AND I GET MY CUT/COMMISSION.OTHERWISE I RETURN YOUR MONEY IN FULL AND NO CHARGE.\nSo you see in such black market underhand dealings underworld business there is honesty 100 % honesty. Otherwise the business wont survive even for a day,\nSo let us wish and pray that everything is legalised including bribing with a price for it so that HONESTY survives,

Blow, Blow, Blow, Blow!  That's what is wrong with this country.  Too many people are debating whether they should stand up for truth.  The very act of questioning "How will it affect me?"  "Will people like me for it?" is why this country is going down hill.  Stand up, be somebody.  If they take your career away, at least you still have your self respect.  In the long run, that's all we can hope for anyway.  I know some will say that this sounds like a simple minded approach, and they are right.  Truth is a simple matter.  Integrity is not debatable.  So called "Reality" shows are corrupting our youth by teaching them that the way to "get ahead" in life is to make tricky deals, fake alliances, stab people in the back, and win the game at all cost.  Maybe this is a good strategy for a game on TV, and maybe it even works in some offices, but in the end this approach to life will always leave the person empty.  Do what's right, PERIOD.  You may have to sleep in a smaller house on a cheaper bed, but you will be able to sleep.

Always tell the truth. The truth shall set you free. Honesty is the best. People that lies will get cought sooner or later. They only get by with it for a while.

I wouldn't quote exact figures, but I'd say a lot of people would say "honesty is the best policy."  However, no one can be 100% honest all the time.  Think about all the white lies we all tell to spare someone's feelings or to get out of an uncomfortable situation...

Those that lie are ignorant that the truth shall set them free, and they instead get trapped in a web that only gets darker and darker as time goes by, and they end up with very MESSY lives!  Only WHITE lies are okay.  Those that only are uttered so as not to hurt another's feelings who might take the truth too strongly.  However, the truth is always best, altho there are many ways of telling it (gently or BLUNTLY) The truth shall set you free because YOU will know to yourself that YOU are reliable and trustworthy to anybody who comes in contact with you, and the wise will see it in you and appreciate YOUR integrity, and the friendships you establish will be wise ones  And you also learn to SEE when others are lying to you and deal with them accordingly.

Yes. If she says she is trying to say goodbye then we should give her the benefit of the doubt and try to believe her. Ha.

You are a sl*t. Is that sincere enough?

Some people think they have to exaggerate to make themselves seem of more importance.  Honesty is not what it used to be, once considered a virtue it is now rarely spoken.  The sad thing is, when someone lies it is to themself they tell the worst of lies!\n\nThen there are those who lie so consistently that they can't remember their own tales...

No. \n\nI am a very honest person, but there is such a thing as tact.  I will gloss over details that I think would hurt, or put it in a gentle way but not outright lie.

Yes it is. The only time you don't have to be truly honest is if your trying to do something special for them such as B-days, Holiday's, or you just want to surprise them. That's the only time things would call for not being honest, but it's only for good reason. Otherwise you should be honest with everything else. Lies and deceit always catch up with the person, even if it's 20 yrs down the road.

Sylvia Brown says a lot of people are on their last life, meaning the world is coming to an end soon.   Just kidding.\n\n(2012 keep your fingers crossed)
