Here’s a little question that you can use in everyday life: Should Honesty and forthrightness still be used if they may be somewhat detrimental?
True, one can tell the truth without being honest, and one can be honest without having to point things out, but I wonder about earnestness, being sincere and forthcoming (Which is why I used the Oscar Wilde play for the title)
One, it’s nice and, well, earnest to be honest all the time.
But people mostly don’t want to know and don’t really care anyways.
And additionally, people don’t NEED to know every insolent item in existence
But being forthcoming shows one’s willingness to be honest and such.
But ignorance is bliss and people don’t need to know all the inconvenient truths laying around.
Furthermore, many times the truth hurts and sometimes one might want to tell a soothing lie.
But I would like to know what the internet population believes. This little topic applies to everyday life as well as things like politics. Should people be honest and sometimes mean all the time? Should politicians always tell the truth? Hmmmnm,
