Hello Ladies,

We're taught to make amends for our wrongdoings -- and live our lives with kindness and honesty. I question, "Is honesty really the best policy?"  My mom always told me, "Susan, if you don't have anything nice to say. Don't say anything at all." With the exception of my critical self-analysis, I've tried to live my life that way. But am I wrong?

Are there degrees of honesty? Does it depend on the person or scenario?
When should we be honest?

What are your thoughts?

IMHO honestsy is always the best way..Ex, I just broke off a relationship. I really really liked this guy..My sister knew some ladies who had worked in the same place this guy retired from.. She asked what was he like?????WOW  the one lady said "He is a pervert". He is on the NY state National Registry of Sex Offenders. IMHO it was very dishonest of him to not tell me...If he had been honest, I wouldnt have been hurt because I never would have dated him. At times Honesty does hurt someone.. But I feel its the best policy..
