Honesty is the best policy... or is it?

I believe honesty is usually the best policy. However, there are exceptions to the rule. I don't like to lie and typically don't. I'm more of a 'leave out truths' than a liar. I feel less guilty about leaving out the truth than straight up lying, but I guess they aren't far from each other. There are certain people who I will not lie to, and then there are those that I'm not so close to. It doesn't mean I will be dishonest to the less close ones it just means I don't explain as much to them as I do to my close friends and family. I am very lucky to have a mother very close to me. We have a very open honest relationships and are able to talk about things most kids would die talking to their parents about. I think that is a big reason why I believe honesty is the way to go. Why lie when it can just get you in to a deeper hole than the truth would have?

    Well said. I envy that closeness, because I know that I might have the same relationship with my mother if I had been able to be more open with her when I was younger, and we'd probably both be better for it.

    I see what you mean, Beccah. You're always talking about your mom and telling funny stories and sometimes I wish that I was that close with my mom.
