What is honesty?
Is it criteria we measure others with?
Are we honest with ourselves?
What does it mean to be honest?
Can we truly not be honest with ourselves and yet be honest with others?
Are you honest with your emotions and the truth of what you feel?
Can you name what you feel?
Do you accept your feelings?
Do you express them cleanly
or
do you expect people to read how you feel?
Do you listen and acknowledge what is within
or
do you rationalize it away?
Being silent where words need to be spoken
is a form of dishonesty.
