I stand to say that Honesty is truly the best policy. Its a must for children, I have made sure that I inculcate it in my children. In fact, as communicants, my children know best not to tell a lie. As a couple, I come clean in everything I do, I honestly do not know how to tell a lie, because I will get caught. My hands are always clean is a saying foe telling the truth. Lies will always catch up with you. A friend of mine once lied about her age, in fact when she got her visa, she was so excited, she sent the visa page to me, and voila, the real age appeared. All this while I thought I was older, but it turns out she is older by two years. As I speak right now, the previous year she claimed she would be 40 has suddenly reduced, I guess age is no longer on her side. The truth I must say will always set you free, so its best to always, come clean.

Joy E. Ojo, you are a great parent, a great model to your children, That must what parents must do to inculcate onto the minds of their children the value of honesty for they are young and their minds are not yet developed, They need good values to learn and nurture so when become big those learned will never depart from them ( John Locke). A child’s mind is like a blank sheet of paper, he or she must be be taught the right ways and good values of life. Thanks for your very nice and inspiring comment, very much appreciated.

It is important for Honesty.Being untruthful will only cause more lies that you would have to tell, to cover up the first lie. Some people are untruthful for many different reasons, in order to get or maintain certain perspectives of a thing.

In my opinion, Honesty is the key to build good communication and character with people. If people are familiar with you as a honest person, you are respected more. People are most likely going to accept your words of being truthful, on face value.

When you care about someone, it is very important to maintain honesty. In relationships, being truthful, is the key. Dishonesty will only cause pain for you and your significant other. When a lie is told, usually you have to remember the first lie that you told, in order for your lie to be believable. Eventually, your lies will end up, getting you caught up in losing the people that you care deeply about.

Everyday, there are a great number of people who are dishonest on a daily basis. Sometimes, people will label you as being fake, because you are considered to be untruthful and your word do not mean a thing. Therefore, in order for you to earn the proper respect, be honest. Lying gets you no where.

Having a conscience, should avoid untruthfulness to people who you care about. If you do not want people to be hurt because of your lie, then do not be dishonest. The lies that you tell, will definitely cause disruption in your relationship.

When you are in a relationship, trust is the main key. Trust, Communication and Honesty are the main tools to keep in your relationship. In order to keep the bond with your significant other, maintain being honest. Good piece of advice!

True, I have observed one thing about honesty. When one starts lying then one lie follows another and there is not end to the list of lies which a individual would have to take the help of to cover the first lie. It becomes a vicious cycle. It also takes a toll on the person who is doing this and the people with whom he has been doing this.

This trait of honesty is a very important one to be inculcated since childhood as if a child grows up without learning and appreciating this trait. Then even his children and the others with whom he comes in touch also get into a problem. It difficult to practice but not impossible to perfect. Thanks for the share.

Honesty is the best policy. Anywhere you go, whatever you do, if you are guided by honesty, nothing would go wrong. An honest person is liked by many; no lies could twist his principles, his words are trustworthy, even his actions. He is credible.

@Detra Abbass , thanks , very well said, yes honesty can bring a better communication and wholesome trust in a family, group, peer. work place. Honesty is a great virtue that is brought and carried through generation to generation. A society would be in a critical situation if composed of fake members or people.

It is not true that we can not fake honesty, lots of double faces do have fake honesty and that show how bad they are and good in what they do, honesty is hard to find in our world and that is sick really, but maybe in the old days the honesty was hard to fake it, but now, it is so easy to fake for some people and so easy to fool good people since good people like to see the good in other people, but let me tell you that this fake honesty can not last, they will be seen for whome they areally are and also they will get falling so badly for the fake honesty and fake personality too, that is interesting topic and the generation did make difference in the honest the older the generation the more honesty the world was, so let us be aware of those fake people since it is critical life to live if some one with dishonesty fake his honesty to you, then you are under their mercy and your life, your house and all is under their games

@tress, I appreciate much your own views about honesty, very well said, yes though bothers can fake honesty, but it won’t last. No one ever had triumphed a lie the same way as there is no secret that can be kept for years.Thank you.
