Honesty! When does it become NOT the best policy?

Tweet

Can you hear your Mother? Do the words of your teacher and preacher and even your best friend echo in your brain? They are all saying the same thing. And You!? You believe it and honor those words because well, simply because. What words, you say? "Honesty is th best policy!" Hmmmmmmmm? Is it really? I wonder? Aren't there truly times when perhaps less Honesty is a good thing? "Does this dress make me look fat???" What, are you kidding!???? Go ahead men, answer that one. Tell her that there is just a tiny, the tinsiest little belly bump that shows in that dress. Say to her "honey, i just think something less tight might look better." Uh huh, you will find out just exactly how much Honesty is NOT always the best policy. Your night, hell, the rest of your life would be better if you just had said, "You look fabulous" and called it good. So if you are close with someone, here or off-line and you are talking and there are things you want to say to them because you love them, do you? If they ask a question and you know that any answer you give to them will hurt them, do you answer the question with your heart or do you simply say enough to stay with the conversation? What is the real answer? how much is too much honesty? Even when concerning the heart... Do you tell someone you love that there are others that wish to be with you? Telling them so they know that you will always be open and honest with them, or do you simply enjoy the great love you two share? Plain and simple!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you become an open book, even at the risk of losing someones love???????????????????????????????
