To Be Honest

Do you agree that being honest is costly? Has it ever caused some, e.g, pain or regret?

Yeah, I agree that being honest is costly. Being honest has really caused me some pain and regret. I discovered that when one is honest and truthful, people would look down on you, and there would still be doubt about you, forgetting that the truth is bitter. Being honest has separated me from most of my friends, and sometimes I do regret my actions after being honest with my words and actions or with what I believe.

Can you be honest without hurting people's feelings?

Yes, I can be honest without hurting people's feelings, but sometimes it is difficult to be honest without hurting people's feelings because the person you're not honest with may feel sad about your actions. I have been in a situation where I couldn't be honest without betraying everyone, and as a result, the other person betrayed our friendship.

Have you ever told a lie to protect someone?

Yes, I have ever told a lie to protect someone. Well, on that, I needed to tell a lie to save the person from going to police custody; otherwise, the person would have been arrested and locked up in police custody, which he might have ended up going to prison, which I had to cover up for him.

Is it okay to keep a secret if it could hurt someone?

Well, it all depends, but to some extent I think it is okay to keep a secret if it could hurt someone and open up the secret at the time the person may have forgotten about it. Some people can't tolerate those who deal with such people; we need to be smart. We have to be smart and logical in this aspect.
