Is honesty really the best policy? Well, it depends I would say.....
People hide the truth for different reasons, some are listed below:
...not to hurt someone who he/she cares;
...not to reveal one's limit;
...to make someone feels better;
...to avoid facing the truth;
the list can go on and on and on.....forever.
People lie in the purpose of not hurting either themselves or the person they are telling the lies to. Some people carry lies into marriage; some people even carry lies to grave. I would rather people tell me the truth than to lie to me just to make me feel better. To me, Honesty is always the best policy even if I could get hurt from it. I choose to know and to know the truth. To others, I cannot judge for them. And for this reason, I do bear some truth that I am reluctant to tell because I think I don't have the right to or not in the right position to reveal the truth. The line of choosing to hide or to tell the truth is abstract and thin. It requires lots of wisdom to handle and to make correct judgement of it. I just wish that I could gain the wisdom in order to always be honest to the people around me. Or, at least, telling people truth in a wise way that could always minimize the bad and enlarge the good.
