In all my life, i have not seen an attitude that promote and boost a man's ego than being honest, honesty is a meek way of living, people who are honest are always the nicest people, that is why i always admired this style of life and never for once want to deviate from it.
A man who can say a word without feeling pompous or bragging is always respected no matter what may be the outcome, honesty pave it own way and without no one doing so many things for him. An honest man is a man who never tells lies.
Lies are one of the reason why some people do not relate so well with one another, at times we tends to think if we go into contract with him/her, they would not do as implies but rather make us to regret our engagement, and regrets at the end.
Honesty to me is a powerful weapon which is carved out to oneself to used and operates in a good conducts, when honesty is in play, everything would seems to be working normal just as the way it should be working but when honesty is not in play the result is always the reverse and problems would erupt.
I know what makes some people not to portray this attitude at all cost may be as a result of their challenges or by joining bad company who always tells lies and just as they said, one tree can not make a forest, for a forest to be known as a forest, so many trees may be planted and grown wild and big, just as being honesty, keeping friends who ain't honest can really deviate an honest man to start and be telling lies.
Unexpected challenges can also be the things that make one not to be honest as he was before, when he sees that ,if he lies, something tangible would be added and that he can used it to take care of his challenges he would do it, so that his problems became solved.
I once witnessed a fuel seller who was arrested for refusing to sell the best price of fuel, when he was arrested, the first thing he said was that, he had so many challenges at hand, what he did is not intentional but he is looking for ways to curb his challenges, to me, what he did was a bad attitude but hearing his story i could feel for him, challenges can really make a good man to became something else and began to lived scrupulous attitude.
