Honesty is the best policy and "cheaters never win" are among the best known sayings of all times, but are they true?
Does honesty really pay off? And if it does, Why there are so many liars, hypocrites and two faced people in the world?
Why is it that liars get ahead in life while honesty holds you back?
Why does it seem like dishonest people get ahead in life?

You would think they would be true. I believe we live in an evil world so I think that's why liars and cheaters get ahead. It's just like that saying nice guys finish last. I didn't believe that at first but it's true. You would think being nice would be beneficial but it's not. It seems like when you're nice, people take advantage of you. I guess that's just the type of world we live in.

the lies and the truths that we tell..
go into making up our character...
.. what ganes and ill gotten. spoils that come from such lies and truths..
.... are not important of any consequence.....

... it is what goes into making up of your character that is important...
..... in that lays the true value...oui

I think so, how can some PPL go thru life bs every one, sooner or later there lives come falling down, some PPL do lie there azzes off on here (catfish), and thay will never truely be happy in life, if you truely love someone you will never lie to them, no matter how much the truth hurts, JMHO

Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die

Good always wins again and again

And love is a sweet dream, it always comes true

Oh if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue

But here in the real world, it's not that easy at all...



I think A.J. said it best.

I think honesty is a great concept .

To the point of, sending a pic of my drivers license to any lady/woman/human female, who expresses an interest in a face to face with me.

1. It proves I am who I say I am.
2. It gives chance for a background check... Basically, shows I don't have one.

Wait!
Omg! Omg!
I did once get a citation for not having headlights on during DAYLIGHT hours.

Hopefully, the ladies won't hold a moving violation against me.

Sadly, the thing I've noticed, especially about the interwebz, is that those clamoring the loudest for honesty, are those least likely to give it.

Either that, or they're just information collectors.

because there are no absolute,, nothing works without discretion

cheaters win often, in the public eye, but they cheat themselves out of so much that they lose inside where it counts

people change their minds as they gain new knowledge with new experience

clich�s are just clich�s, what works is adaptability

Liars are cowards because they can't face the truth. They are scared of it. They hide from reality

Please STOP!
That's not funny!
Everything has its own time.
Thank you!

the truth always has a way of coming to light.
it may take time even years, but when it does, it destroys everything built on the lie.

I've seen it happen many times to people our family knows

I don't know some people thrive off of hurting others. Lies and deceit is never the way to go. It only makes thing worse. To me any way.:banana:

people can do awful, awful things to others for self-interest, and still be downright self-righteous about it...:cry: :cry: ...hypocrites...sad2

I believe it is easier to be honest and upfront.
Takes too many notebooks to keep track of the lies
and webs we weave when we aren't...

I want a woman that doesn't make me have to lie. Finding that is dealing with a real woman.tongue2
