along the lines of "The Golden Rule". Treat others as you would have
them treat you. I was raised to always be honest, even when it's
difficult to do so. It's much more beneficial to mankind in the end.
NOTE: I do not count white lies used to negotiate awkward moments, such
as, “of course” as an answer to “don't you just love my new hat!?”.

myself to answer to, and with that person I cannot help but be honest
with. The hard choices that were right are ones I can sleep with, the
easy choices that I felt were wrong keep me awake.

The basis for true self-evaluation and the cornerstone for true friendship.

is nothing worse than being lied to. A person is judged by their
actions and character, to not be honest, to be a liar, in my opinion, is
one of the worst things a person can be.
To always share what has
really happened or how I truly feel, no matter how difficult it may be.
If I cannot tell the truth, I should just keep my mouth shut.
Truthfulness to self and to others that goes deeper than words.
