To Be Honest

There are different types of honesty. Can we agree on that? There is the whole truth, the half truth, partial truths and then attempted truth.

Whole truth- I dont think this is reasonable to expect from anyone. When it comes to telling a story, you will never hear all the details, but who really wants all the extra any way. Most people look for short, immediate, precise news. The whole truth would not only include all the details, but an unbiased opinion... Almost impossible to find!

Half truth/Partial Truth- I will put these in the same category. You will get these most of the time. We have heard it a thousand times; there are always three truths- Person #1's truth, Person #2's truth and then the real story. That is because most people tell a truth that sounds good in their head. They can do this by adding attitude or slanting words to a conversation they had, emphasizing certain parts of a story or changing words here and there to fit the point they are trying to make.

Attempted Truth- This to me is what a lot of people do, and end up setting themselves up for failure. Telling people things like- I will be here by a certain time, or have this done by a certain time; setting themselves up and someone else up for an expectation- when this expectation is not met, you have failed them; which, in a way, is lying.

Anyway, most people struggle with the truth, in one way or another, This, however, is not abnormal these days. Noone seems to know fact from fiction, and will believe nearly everything they see.

I hope to have honest eyes, thoughts and words.
