Honesty

Upbringing instills us with things that go beyond our normal scope of range, beyond education, and everything we learn later our. Parents teach us fundamentals that help us accept life, and learn to cope with many obstacles and problems that may arise.

There are some institutions and campuses that teach the same thing, and you may get lucky by finding a teacher that does the same thing in high school. So the reason the title up above is named this is because Im going to write about the things that I was taught growing up, that I was taught in school that I hold ideally to my heart, and the reason that sometimes these things get in the way of a lot of instances in life.

The first thing taught to me that created a rebellious epitome to my life, and then furthered me into actually appreciating it for it's total blunt point of aspect, and the freedom of possibility is Honesty. I have to admit, as I child I was never honest, because I knew wether right or wrong, honesty would still get me now where, because I would be spanked.

Getting spanked was harsh but it was punishment earned because my misdeeds were many as they were very wrong in nature. So through my life I came to the point of realizing that although I may be wrong in doing so, honesty above all things expresses what no one expects, it gives you an edge in dealing with things, and although you may piss of quite a few people, they will one day respect you for that honesty.

Your sure to score higher points in life with that honesty, and if you have faith and believe in God you are sure to go places. However there comes a deadly weight to such honesty. As stated above it can piss someone off, it can destroy someone's life that knows the truth of themselves, it can even cause hurt, and make people want to hurt themselves in turn.

Whatevever path, we may never know which is the path for us, but by lying you would be doing more harm than good if the truth ever did come out. The loss would be less, but still immesurable in pain. It's a no win situation in either case and sometimes I have a hard time accepting the true path to myself. There are times when I meet people and am totally honest with them, when it comes to meeting in person.

I find they are beyond what I expected, and therefore I start to refuse myself the truth, because I do not wish to harm someone's essence of themselves. I dont wish to cause unconditional pain or hurt because I myself lack perfection in many area's of life. I have no right, for certain things to say, but by god my honesty lies in helping people not breaking them.

Is there a wrong or right on this path? Does our honesty in itself turn out to be nothing more than lies? An escape from the real truth? If we are wrong by creating our honesty in an attempt to become a better person, at what point does it become wrong?

When the hate/fear/or sorrow can be seen by the naked eye do we begin lying to soar the happiness? I would very much like to hear all your thoughts on this, maybe you can offer some wisdom into the scope of honesty.

Be forwarned however, that whichever path you take, your actions arent always best suited, and the consequences can cause you to be the one with the pain.
