How honest are you? How honest do you expect other people to be? How do other people handle your honesty? How do you handle theirs? I am not making a correlation here between truth and honesty. I'm defining honesty as what you believe to be true (not necessarily what is).
I try to be honest when something matters to me or if someone would be hurt by my dishonest. I am not always so honest if
I'm indifferent to the topic, think it is a frivilous question, don't trust the motivation behind the question. I find most people can handle honesty if it is given gently, but I don't think most people really like it if it goes against something ingrained in them or challenges their image of themselves. I think honesty causes people, including myself, to become uncomfortable.
Are you willing to be uncomfortable? Are you willing to make someone else uncomfortable?
