Nothing in this world is more profound and respected by me than honesty. Without being honest, first with ourselves and then with others, we are nothing more than bad actors looking for some kind of justification for acting the way we do. These justifications are infectious and can damage the self in a number of ways. First, by justifying an act that runs contrary to being honest with oneself one puts him/her self in jeopardy. By that I mean they can become something other than what they are designed to be. This is a place where honesty can hinder the false process. Second, and lastly for my part here, to justify an act that is far and away from the self one makes it possible to abandon any notion of honesty whatsoever.
