I'm a survival master, and a two-faced liar.

But I try to be honest most of the times. Like, right now?

Honesty is the best policy. In wicked times. In good times. Fun times. Weepy times. For all time. And if you have to ask, may I suggest a re-examination of values.

It takes a lot of courage to live your life honestly. It doesn't always get you out of a troubled spot; it can even make things worse. "Honey, does this outfit make me look fat?" is a place where your honesty may never win.

In any case, here's one path to getting yourself to a more honest life:

Face everything head on.
Look at your life as it is, not how you think it should/could/would be. Look at it without judgment. Whenever you become defensive or judgmental about yourself or those things around you, you automatically build walls between you and whatever it is you think is threatening you. This could be anything, from other people and their criticisms of you to your own judgment of yourself.

Be Truthful.
Live with right information, with yourself and others. You don't have to tell your most private thoughts and feelings to every nosey person out there. It just means not being false (Remember that "it's none of your business" is a truth you can also live with.)

Accept it.
You don't have to like the truth, just accept it as Truth. Dealing with the truth is a better foundation to build upon than anything else.

Leave it alone.
Stop twisting things out of shape to fit your moments. You don't have to cover up the truth, decorate it or force it into any mold. "Truth will out," isn't that the way the saying goes? Truth, when left to itself, is truthful. All it needs is your encouragement.

Live as if Truth matters.
If you don't value the truth, you won't honor it. Put Truth above your personal feelings of safety. Make it matter enough to seek it, hold it; live it.

Okay, let us be honest as this is the main theme of this question.

Do anyone here really believe that they have been honest or completely honest even in the last 24 hours, yes even if we include the last 8 hours or so that they were asleep.

I bet not, but still we say that honesty is still the best policy.

The Good Lord said that by their fruits you will know them. People everywhere and throughout history have always made it a point to appear honest, even priding themselves to be honest to other people. But honestly, no one is without sin and is completely honest.

Let us all be honest with ourselves and to God if we believe in one. And say, yes I know I should be honest but I honestly have not been one all throughout my life. And yes white lies are also being dishonest. And yes, we are all guilty. And yes, that is why we need God.
