Is honesty always the best policy?

white lies maybe acceptable but for a greater motive only..

Being honest all the time may sometimes get you into trouble with people who can't accept the truth. but this is the challenge for us christians and it is because of a bigger motivation. that even though we are not popular, we live as free as we want to be because we dont hide away from the truth.

Yes why not, so what kah honesty according to your view always will not have the best policy....? According to me all that true, and honesty was kuncin from living we would,not like that according to you....?

Lying is possibly the worst habit you can pick up. Once you start its pretty much like smoking you just can't stop. It seems one lie told isn't enough then you'll probably have to tell another lie to cover it up. And when the person does find out you've lied they end up never being able to trust you again. Once trust is lost its lost for good.

I for one find it really hard to lie to people. Im terrible at acting. But if my life depended on it, i might probably sacrifice that bit of honesty and try to put up a good show with a lie. It usually backfires though.lol. The worst things when you have to cover your lies with more and more lies till you actually forget what the initial point of it all was. I would rather lie than hurt people. So in conclusion, lying is sort of bad. But on the other hand, not tellin the whole truth might come in handy many-a-times. So, i guess everybody would agree that honesty is the best policy.. as long as it doesnt get you into a fix.

No. i think white lies are there for a reason. :D havent u see the movie liar liar? :D

Always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It can builds a foundation for all other aspects of character. It establishes your personal integrity and becomes the cornerstone for your lasting rlationship.
