After watching an online discussion programme about the honesty people have or should have I realise it is really important.
Most people think the most important people we should be honest with is our family and friends. Sometimes if you have a good relationship with your family or friends it would be easier to trust them and be honest. That may not be the case and that is more difficult for you to be honest. Anyway if you have a good relationship you cannot always be honest, sometimes it can be hurtful. For example, if something bothers you that your friend, familiar does and you want to be honest and tell them you don’t like them to do that, it may hurt your friend or familiar.
Moreover being honest with your friends and family you must be honest with those in authority, but before that you have to be honest with yourself. It’s quite normal to pretend things to ourselves. But sometimes we need to be straight. If you have made something wrong you have to accept that it’s wrong. In that way you don’t have to lie to those in authority. Most people have lied at some time or another to authorities about minor matters but for important things you must tell the truth.
As a conclusion, I think honesty is very important, because in that way people will trust you. It’s not always good to be honest, but most of the time yes.
