Is honesty truly the BEST policy?

Honesty is the BEST policy...\n\nTalk to him about what's bothering you...otherwise...what is he suppose to do? He can't read your mind. \n\nMy husband works his butt off too and comes home, showers, eats and sleeps...gets up the next day, goes to work, comes home, showers, eats and sleeps...and so on.\n\nI feel the same way you do at times, but we need to understand, (which we both do) that he is tired and drained.  This does NOT interpret that he does not love you or find you unattractive...he's just tired.\n\nTry scheduling something for you and him on his day(s) off something special to do...don't wait for him...just do it.\n\nPray for courage and uplifting...\nTry to get some sleep... :)

I find honesty is the best policy, however if I now its going to hurt someone to much I give it the ole bambi rule-- if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.

It is best to tell the truth.  Not telling the truth can lead to a cascade of lies as you try to cover up your tracks.  While there may be a punishment in the short term, in the long run, you will have a lot more trust and leeway than if someone found out that what you said before was a lie.  They will be left wondering about everything you said and you will be unable to convince them even if you are telling the truth.

if you aren't honest it always comes back to bite you in the bum anyway, so may as well be as honest as possible

I believe honesty is the best policy, but don't be honest just to relieve your own pain. Being honest about a mistake often hurts the other person more than you think. Sometimes its best to just keep quiet and live with the guilt... and hopefully the knowledge that you made a mistake and will never repeat it. \njust_a_guy_in_florida@yahoo.com

Honesty.....it is the one thing most do not have, though they would nearly always refute the accusation if challenged ,and that in its self is dishonesty. They seem to have alterior motives in everthing they say and do, in business especially. I am a cynic as I have proved on many occasion that the above is prevelant in most people.

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.

If hiding the truth does not physically or emotionally hurt a person than it is sort of alright to disguise the truth. Outright lying is never a good solution. It always creates more pain than it prevents.\n\nThe only reason to hide the truth is to reduce pain. The best way to handle that is to disguise the truth. That way you have not so much lied, as made the truth sound a bit more gentle.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

Well, the easiest honest way to do that is to learn it, then you'll really know.  Nothing worth doing can be shortened with the results untouched.  Claims are lies that one party hopes are true.

Many times I feel that way, but there are still many people out there with high integrity that believe that honestly is the best policy, they're just hard to find.  I find it frustrating and disappointing when there are so many people out there who have gotten to the point where they lie just for the sake of lying, the only person they are truly hurting are themselves, and hopefully they will someday realize this when they are unhappy and alone...

Yes my friend Honesty is very much alive in this selfish world !!\n   A bit difficult to understand this fact....i am not being hyperbolic but to tell u v all live different lives and our lives r so busy and ignorant, we are accustomed to listening to people speak  lies almost every day, yes we sometimes also do speak lies, now at this moment of time, if u meet a person who tells u the truth u always start spying on that person !!I because its all our mindsets that sets us to think that there is no honesty in this world and that no one is honest!!\nwe fail to recognize that person through observation, behavior,speech eye contact, body Language and other such aspects which show the level of honesty in that person!!\nSo ...I think its time to look around I think u should find people who are quite Honest!!

There's only one thing that you should remember: Don't lie in your CV, and don't lie about your technical ability. Honesty is the best policy.

That's too broad a question to have a simple answer. Further, the "best" policy analysis is a judgment most often colored by one's political perception.

Honesty is the best policy. When promoting people you must be able to trust that they will act with integrity. The main question for management will be, how can you ensure this not occurring if you receive the promotion?
