honesty - honestly

"Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues"

I dont think too many people would disagree what that - how can you really have anything thats lastingly fruitful without honesty, and without the trust that comes from it. (And a big part of this is about being truthful to yourself - about actually admitting your faults to yourself and the changes you need to make)

"Honesty is the best policy" - we've all probably heard that a hundered times.

So - why is it so difficult a lot of the time?

(look - I'm not talking about not having Tact, which I think most people would agree I tend to ignore more than most... coz thats a whole other issue).

And Im not talking about judging people, or criticizing them for just doing the wrong thing by you.

But, look back at the times in your lives when someone has been honest with you. Whether they are tactful, frank or just flat out brutal. The truth sometimes hurts, but I just think that these disruptions in the status quo (or equilibrium if you will) are some of the defining moments in our lives.

Why did I write all this - I dunno, just figured that my blog had been pretty empty recently so I just put down a few thoughts.
