Hello mylotters, are you honest? Please be honest while posting response. Also please share any incident showing your honesty. I remember one incident about me. One day few years back, i silently took some money from my dad's wallet. Next day i felt so bad about it that I told my dad about it and i am very happy that i told truth that time and didn't cheated my parents.

i am always about everything and to everyone. i dont belive in lying at all. i speak my mind very open. sometime people tell me i am not nice how i do speak my mind. sometime i do it wrong. but if i do something i am going to tell the truth, or say just how i feel about somone or what they are doing.

well when it comes to honesty, I would narrate of a private exam our school had enrolled us to..it was not in curriculum but a religious organisation was conducting it to inculcate students with moral values.but our school had kept its reputation at stake and couldn't afford to get bad results.so they distributed books and allowed students to copy answers. well all of my friends did.i too was a bit attracted but I had studied..since I had studied, by then i had imbibed some honesty in me and I refrained from copying. I wrote whatever i had read and to my surprise, I had topped it. from that day i have been believing that, by standing with honesty, if not this time we will win for sure next time...but if we are dis honest once, we always keep looking for back doors...

I used to chat online a lot without my parents knowing, and I got really guilty one time that my brother told my parents everything that happened. I was scolded harshly for not telling them and for going against them I now still chat online, but my parents know about it. I tell my mom everything that goes on, and I even have a best friend I met on the internet, and we plan to meet eventually. :]]

generally, i think i'm an honest. but i'm a pretty good liar when i have to lie. well, one instance that i can think of is about this incident with my friend. although, this is more about her honesty than mine. back when we were in college, my friend got a car. she wasn't really used to driving yet but her friends pressured her into going to the mall and driving them, during their break. after that, she asked me if she should tell her mom about it, because she knew that she was gonna be in trouble if ever her mom found out about it. i told her that she should tell her mom about it. if she gets into trouble then, it's her fault for letting her classmates pressure her. plus, knowing her mom, she'll find out about the mall incident and she'll just be in a bigger trouble if she didn't fess up about it so she did tell her mom about it.

i think in sometimes, people should be honest. in fact, to tell the truth can indeed release our feeling. when we meet some troubles, we all know the first reaction is to cover the fact, however when the time goes on, we would be depressed and tough with them. if we tell the truth, maybe things are not so bad that we imagined.
