“Honesty” a word which is quite often used in the English vocabulary.

“As Wikipedia States”

Its the human quality of communicating and acting truthfully related to truth as a value. This includes listening, and any action in the human repertoire — as well as speaking.

Superficially, honesty means simply stating facts and views as best one truly believes them to be. It includes both honesty to others, and to oneself and about one’s own motives and inner reality.

Although a rare quality seen in individuals these days. But yet exists in small pockets..

Has the world lost its bearing ? Well i don’t know. The more i see .. The more it seems to convince me humanity is nearing the end of its time.. Let me not loose my bearing now ;)

When i think of “Honesty” Two words seem to hit me “Self Deception”.

“As Wikipedia States”

Self-deception is a process of denying or rationalizing away the relevance, significance, or importance of opposing evidence and logical argument.

An instinct for self deception can give a person a selective advantage… if someone can believe their own “lie” (i.e., their presentation that is biased toward their own self interest), the theory goes, they will consequently be better able to persuade others of its “truth.”

It may also be argued that the ability to deceive, or self-deceive, is not the selected trait but a by-product of a more primary trait that is selected. Abstract thinking allows many evolutionary advantages such as more flexible, adaptive behaviors and innovation. Since a lie is an abstraction, the mental process of creating a lie can only occur in animals with enough brain complexity to permit abstract thinking.

No i did not conceive that theory.. However its one i have a great deal of respect for….

99.9 percent of people like to call themselves honest ..

But what i fail to understand …. how is one honest when he or she is in self denial ?

Honesty to maintain as a constant on an individuals personality.. is a near impossiblity

Honesty starts with the end of self deception .. It doesn’t matter if your honest to a dishonest world

But it does matter if your honest to yourself …
