HONESTY

Honesty? What do you really think this word means? Is it a rule you live by or is a just another word of the english language? Many people have asked me for my opinion on honesty. Have you ever took the time and liberty to define it? If not think about it, all that makes up honesty is a good person with moral values who has enough self respect as well as respect for others to do whats right and just tell the truth. However, for many people sadly this is to much to ask. There aren't a lot of honest people in this crel society that we live in today so you can not really trust people.


Honesty to me means loyalty, trustworthy, even glory and praise. All you have to do is tell it like it is. Alot of people are sitting behind bars now due to the lack of honesty when they had a chance to. If more people stepped outside the box and actually took responsibilty for there actions, then many people would not even be in the situation that they are in now. Sure you can be Mr. Sticky fingers at the time but when it comes down to it all you can not even pay the price so why even waist your time and thought.

Did you know that it actually takes less energy to be honest than to lie? Seriously, because after you tell one lie you have to cover it up wit another one and another one and so forth when all you had to do in the beginning was tell the truth. People do not think that far ahead though. They never really that about the consequences and reprocussions of their actions. Trust and believe me if they did, this world would be a much better place that what it is now.

You know, it almost sickens me to know that the reason that we are living in such harsh conditions is because someone lied or did not speak up. Technically not speacking up is the same thing as telling a lie jus in a different form. If all I have to do is speack up to save a couple of lives, you better believe that I will be the one to step out of my box and actually do it. Most of the violence that takes place in our neighborhodds today is because of sombody not being honest. It is sad to see your neighborhood on the news every night for something that is taught at home.

In conclusion, being honest could actually be the savyor that this world despriatly needs. Just think, we think we have it bad now but when we have children and they have children, there is little to no chance of surviving. Just as Bishop T.D Jakes said "It takes a village to raise a child but who has raised the village?" I feel this is a question we should all ask ourselves and then se who is truely honest with the answer.
