"Honesty may not earn you many friends, but it will earn you the right ones." These wise words from John Lennon prompt us to evaluate the quality of our relationships. Honesty, at times, can leave us in a vulnerable position, yet it connects us with individuals who value truth and transparency.
What's your take on this perspective?
Do you believe that honesty is the foundation for building authentic bonds?

Yes, honesty does pay in the long run. At least we can live in peace being honest. People trust us as they know we are honest. Though honest people are sometimes painted black but that's done to discourage them to remain honest.

Your insights are spot on. While honesty may face challenges and skepticism at times, living with integrity brings a sense of peace and earns the trust of those around us. It's true that societal perceptions may attempt to cast doubt on honest individuals, but the enduring value of honesty lies in the positive impact it has on our lives and relationships. Do you have personal experiences with the benefits of honesty to share?

@RRossi I have faced a lot of challenges because I am honest and am still facing because of some dishonest people around me. I am still fighting for justice. I am confident that at the end honesty does pay and it has in my case. The Supreme power above "God " too helps me to stay honest.

Open and honest communication is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. It fosters trust, understanding, and emotional intimacy. Being able to express thoughts and feelings freely, without fear of judgment, creates a strong foundation for a lasting and meaningful connection

totally agree with this. helps you filter out who's real and who's not in your circle as well.

I've always been honest. I'm too transparent to be dishonest. Dishonesty is a recipe for disaster. It's always better to be honest about everything.
Welcome to myLot.
I say that tongue in cheek really but it's also true that I don't tell lies.

Yes. Within reason. I don't like relationships where lying is involved, but we all can't be honest all of the time.

I have the belief that being honest is the best way find true friends since some friends of mine on social media are too thin skinned to not allow some harmless words like calling the C W Network the Cretin Worship offensive.
