The notion of living out the common aclaim that "Honesty is the best policy" has ben instilled in everyone as a child in every society and cultures internationally; from as early as in pre-historic ages (I think). However, a which point does telling the truth, and striving to be truthful in life to all, become detrimental to one, ones health, the varied friendships/relationships formed over time, and your mere survival?

For me I still believe in honesty is the best policy.Telling truth is still the best in every aspects of life.Telling the truth,will set us free.Any way it depends upon the situation,maybe telling the truth will be detrimental if it can harm or kill others.
