[b]Honesty is the best policy. Whether it will hurt someone's feelings or not, I wish not to be the one who beats around the bush.[/b]

I get your point.

But being honest doesn't earn you respect, love, appreciation or points.

It earns you hate and violence .

So many say they want honesty. Many say they respect it .

But most don't.

{@fatsojoe ] true honesty is the best policy obviously so is slight tact

I feel exactly the same. It really does stick with you and help when a person tells you such things.

I would much rather be told that I am doing a task badly so I'll work on doing it better. If they tell me I am doing well, I won't work to do it better, I'll think it's what would be acceptable.
