I've heard since I was little that honesty is the best policy. Even our kindergarten room has a banner that says it. In actuality, being honest is essentially a moral decision. Your mental health can benefit from being honest in a variety of ways. Being honest has many advantages, but one of the biggest is that it may make your life more genuine and satisfying. However, there are situations when being honest can put you in danger, so it's not always a good thing.

I agree with you, Honesty is a good thing that a person have and it will pay you good respect from others, but some times honesty will put you in bad positions that peoples will use your honesty against you and they will take advantage of that, so it think its better to choose where to be honest and choose people who will appreciate your honesty.
 
No matter what honestly is always the best way way to make things go well it maybe somehow hard at the beginning but it will always results in joy either in business or any other activities
 
While there are some situations where it may be more beneficial to lie or withhold the truth, honesty is generally the best policy. Being honest builds trust and credibility, which are essential for any relationship, personal or professional. Additionally, being honest is usually the easiest and most straightforward option, and it's often the only way to really resolve a problem. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and there may be times when it's best to withhold the truth in order to protect someone's feelings or to avoid causing unnecessary conflict. Do you think honesty is always the best policy?
 
Honestly is never the sweetest but it is the best. Like they say the truth is never sweet but bitter, but it is still the same truth that would set you free.

No it is not. I was honest about how much I know and I end up working much more than others for same money. I should shut up but now I learned my lesson.

In such a case they should also pay you more than others as well or at least give you some extra privileges as well.

Honestly is the best policy! But not in every aspect, if you're only known as a honest person, you will be liked in the community, but to maintain the title and be the best out of all, you should add some good character to it, out of the characters is to be friendly with others.

Walking through life honestly is difficult and is full of hurdles. So a honest person has to take dangers and problems in his stride. Dishonesty always harms someone which we have no right to.
 
No one is perfect so I can say that there is no honest human on earth. I also can't say that I am honest because it is true that it could be safe for us to tell a lie sometimes. We escape a penalty so we have to tell a lie.
 
In all circumstances I believe that honesty is the best policy. But majority of people to whom I observed are dishonest, they may say yes, this is best policy but they will try to cheat you. Yesterday a lady in p2p deal tried her best to cheat my $13 , she didn't paid and raised issue after fight and providing proofs I get my money.

That was craziness on the part of the woman, it is good to hear that you were able to get back your money. She was a fraud, I am so glad you had with you the proofs.

I'm happy you were able to get your money back, I see no reason why people like cheating on others knowing fully well you are claiming another person's hard earned money.
 
Generally, honesty is crucial for trust, integrity, and positive relationships. However, cultural nuances and context matter. Balancing truth with sensitivity ensures effective communication and ethical decision-making.

Telling lies to save the situation is not bad. If a person is terminally ill its better to tell him he will get well soon. It will also boost up his will to live.

That's true, telling someone sick he'll get soon makes him happy and motivated. There's a psychological effect.
 
Personally, honesty is very important, which can show good morals, in business honesty is also very important, so that we don't deceive consumers. Honesty is also a reflection of conscience. That is why honest people don't like politics and being government officials.
