What Is Honesty?

The more honest you are, the more easy it is to trust you. Not only will others trust you, but you can also feel more confident when trusting others. It’s always good to pay it forward and develop good karma. That’s much easier to do with honesty than it is to do with not being true or faithful.

One lie is all it takes to lose that trust, it don’t feel good for either person if you lose that trust, and it’s almost impossible to regain it.

They say that honesty is the best policy, it says who you are, what your values and character are. You are the first person they will come to for advice, opinions or just understanding and comfort.

Always be honest, it is one of the 10 commandments.
