Honesty is more than just telling the truth. Honesty is believing in what you are saying and forming trust with the others around you. Without honesty, your life truly becomes a lie. And I guess that's common sense because if you are not honest, what are you?
There is a difference between being honest with others and being honest with yourself. You can tell other people the truth and you form trust bonds and friendships, that is important. But, what if you are not honest with yourself? What if you don't know that you aren't being honest with yourself? I feel like that is very common these days. People like to lie to themselves, and not even on purpose. They cannot stand the thought of being something or having a certain view or thinking a certain way, so you lie to yourself to change your own thoughts. But, just because you cover something up with a lie, doesn't mean the truth went away. You are just hiding things, and that is really when you start to lose a sense of who you are. You cannot change who you truly are deep down, but you can change and choose the lifestyle that you live. But that my friend, is you living a lie.
