      Rosemary, you are not alone! There are still many honest people out there, so you can reach out to us, anytime! I get what you are saying. My only thought is that Honesty DOES have a place in this age of lies and manipulation, as you know. Without honesty, integrity, love, respect, and many other great values, the world will be a very bad place where even the dishonest people will not want to live here, right ! Also Rose, the dishonest people don't deserve our anger. Only pity them, as they don't know things. Try not to let dishonest people make YOU feel bad, even though I admit, it's hard to do sometimes. There is good in ALL people. Sometimes it's just harder to find in some.

    • @artemisjr1237
      @artemisjr1237 5 років тому +12

      That's the thing though, just because other people make it hard for you doesn't mean that you should disrupt your hard earned integrity. I don't want to be fake so I am not fake. Easy as pie. I don't have a TON of friends but the ones I do have are all honest as well and they value and respect me as I do them and we both have that understanding. My boyfriend is my soulmate and he too shares these qualities. I take comfort in the people that are like me and show me that I am not only accepted but also celebrated for just being who I am. These are the people I need to listen to. Some people think it is lonely to not be surrounded by lots of friends but honestly it depends on how you look at it. I would rather have a few trusted cherished friendships then a lot of toxic friendships. It should also be understood that we need to get rid of the grass is greener mentality out of our minds. That only leads to depression and disappointment. Life is not a numbers and stuff game. Life is in my opinion truly about the intangible. These intangibles are what give us piece of mind, show us where our priorities are, and can also provide a great deal of inner strength that we can use to deal with the every day obstacles. Also keep in mind that there will always be haters no matter what you do or who you are. It is a fact of life. You can either allow those haters to break you down or you can see it for what it is and focus on your personal growth and well being.

      John MDM: I've run into my share of, "People can't handle me because I'm too real" type people. I just wanted to throw this out there. Honesty isn't always innocent, & it isn't always brutal, blunt, mean, cutting. The way my brain is wired makes constant little lies nearly impossible - I can't keep it all straight. I've had to learn to control it, & how to be honest in the gentlest ways I can. Actions & motives are the keys - are they trying to be discrete & gentle, making it clear that this is just their opinion, & honestly trying to help? Or are they saying whatever they want, whenever they want, & do they seem to enjoy the chaos & pain they cause - do they use "truth" as a weapon? Language misuse is something I'm seeing more & more - there's a big difference between: "I'm going to be honest now" & "I'm going to tell you my opinion now".

      @@versuzzero5335 Couldn't what one person thinks honestly just be what they believe at that given time? Nothing wrong with opinions as long as you are willing to be receptive to new information. I also think people have a hard time with listening to information because they personalize it. That is not on the person stating an opinion. Like for instance some one asks you for your opinion you give it to them and they don't like it. You don't know how they are going to react before you tell them you just tell them because you are stating your honest opinion. Like people don't hold it against someone if they choose a peanut butter jelly sandwich over a cheese sandwich so why should they hold other opinions that differ from yours as off putting and instead evaluate if there is some grain of truth to what is being said or see what is false and point that out as their honest opinion. Also if people have differing opinions it really is ok. Just like we all have assholes and each one is different so are opinions. I honestly think that not taking things as personal and not owning how people see you as soul crushing we as a society can mature more and actually be more receptive to information that can help us in the long run.

Most of the time what was going on was that he had no idea what to do about a situation, & what he needed was someone to listen to & help him.

I so agree; it is so much easier to be honest sprinkled with a dose of wisdom than it is to dishonest. In my case, my insides would feel out-of-sorts when I've lied... usually because I didn't want to offend a fragile ego. Wisdom is key. Over time, I've learned to pick and choose the right time to dispense honesty to certain folks. As you've stated, not every ego can handle honesty, and more importantly they will not receive it if it's not given at the right time.

      I also hate myself just because I can't/don't want to tell a lie.
      And whenever I do tell a lie which is rare, it becomes true.
      i.e, I was just pulling a prank on my friend, I lied that I saw that his name wasn't on the passers list, then when the time I looked for his name, it really wasn't.
      ...
      I never lie seriously, just when I'm joking which is rarely because my humour is by telling truths in a playful way. And telling a joke by stating the hard cold truth is clearly not funny for most people, yet I still find it funny.

      One reason why I don't like lying is because some of my lies becomes true that it's scary.
      But if my lie becomes true, is that the truth now or was it still a lie?
      Sometimes it happens like this, a person lied to me without me knowing and I lied about it to another person and what I said was actually the truth.
      Out of all the things I could have said, I said the truth without me knowing and the person who lied to me was also confused how I could have known the truth.
      It's actually a part of my luck. I'm somehow the luckiest person I know, that it made me think that if something doesn't go my way now, it's because there's something better waiting for me. And that's how I can stay positive in the darkest moments.

Like I know that I need to maybe lose like 10 lbs (my boyfriend says I look perfect but I see things differently) but it doesn't stop me from being me. I just eat healthy and take care of myself. To me it is just as important as paying your bills or going to work. To me taking care of yourself is an investment in your future.

    Well done Brainy-Dose team! After hearing this, I realized you'd summarized my unpublished manuscript called "A Philosophy of Honesty". Mine is too long to be read, let alone put on you-tube, it's about 300,000 words long. I particularly liked where you touch on what I call "justified dishonesty", also called white lies or social discretion. I noted you're aware that all lies, even white ones, have a time limit. The Christian idea of "speaking the truth in love", needs the reverse added. , "When speaking of love, be sure it's also truth".
    I, like you, live in a society where high levels of honesty are possible because of social security legislation. In many parts of the world, honesty is a luxury most people cannot afford. Become a bandit, or starve to death! I guess this is one reason why the religions of semi-arid countries all emphasize "forgiveness of sins". Thanks again for your well thought out and much needed message. Cheers, P.R.
