Is honesty the best policy? No matter how much it will affect someone you care about or wish to know and hope to be with in a negative sense? Or are some things better left unsaid? Can you handle it?

yes the path of truth is sweet

I'm always honest...sometimes downright blunt and direct. Depending on the topic. It's how I'd want people to be with me (and yes...I've had best friends be completely blunt with me on some very painful topics that, in the end, I was extremely glad they hadn't danced around it or kept their silence.)

You should always be honest...but be gentle in doing so....without honesty you have nothing
|

I want someone to tell me "brutally" if I'm being a jackass or have something hanging from my nose.
but that's hypocritical, because...(well I'd speak up about the nose thing)...but I hate the thought of hurting sommeone's feelings |

Honestly, I tell people things that I know they don't want to hear, for their own good. They at first but me later. |

Is honesty the best policy? Often. No matter how much it will affect someone you care about or wish to know and hope to be with in a negative sense? No. Or are some things better left unsaid? Yes. Can you handle it? Yes, Jack. |

OK...I guess "I" gotta be the "cliche" one.
You knew it would come sooner or later Faust. You had something to hide Should have hidden it, shouldnt you Now youre not satisfied With what youre being put through Its just time to pay the price For not listening to advice And deciding in your youth On the policy of truth Things could be so different now It used to be so civilised You will always wonder how It could have been if youd only lied Its too late to change events Its time to face the consequence For delivering the proof In the policy of truth Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again Is what you swore The time before Now youre standing there tongue tied Youd better learn your lesson well Hide what you have to hide And tell what you have to tell Youll see your problems multiplied If you continually decide To faithfully pursue The policy of truth Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again Is what you swore The time before |

Edit after a sip of coffee: Pure honesty. If you "spare" me or can't take it, you're with the wrong person.

But this one is fitting with something I just dealt with today. A girl on her that I talked to was really bothered by something from my past and doesn't want to talk to me now. This is happened to me a lot but over different things. Seems like no matter what, (Quote me on this because I speak truth) "Honesty is a double edged sword". And I think I just stabbed myself tonight.... |

EDIT: I wish I had Jonathan's brilliant economy try withholding.....getting what your heart desires.....and then losing it for not being forthright I won't hand you any BS.....it SUCKS NOW! but do ya see the potential to suck a lot worse later. Not saying be cavalier....but the truth is the only "real" way to cover your ass |

Thanks Joel, but wow. We seem to be getting mixed replies here...

When I say mixed replies, I mean not everyone is agreeing on the same thing..... Crazy
