Honestly....

I was thinking today. Why is honesty so difficult for some people? I kind of understand a little white lie to spare someones feelings although, I prefer honesty to that most of the time. But some people it appears to just be their nature to lie. I can't imagine how exhausting that must be. If you are honest you don't have to remember all the lies you told. The truth is the easiest thing to remember. Do some parents honestly teach their kids to be dishonest? Maybe if they are too strict it would make a kid feel like they have to hide everything. I just don't get it.

When I was a kid my mom always told us we would be in more trouble if we lied then if we just tell her exactly what we did when we misbehaved. She always said she hates nothing more then liars and that honesty should be our go to response. So now I'm 31. I have lied before I'm not a saint. My husband seems to think I lie about not being in pain a lot when I am but I just know he can't do anything to remove the pain so why say it? How did your parents teach you honesty? How honest do you think you are?

Try to be honest with everyone including yourself. I have recently lost a friend I told myself she was just having one of her moods and that we would be friends again soon. We texted a few days ago and we were very cordial but if I'm honest with myself then I have to admit that I can't forget how she treated me and I honestly don't believe we will be friends again ever. But maybe if I'm honest she never was a real friend. and I don't need two faced people in my life. or in her case 78 faced people. I wish people would just tell me the truth always it really does set you free!
