people from being blamed or
punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to

The establishment of any

relationship, both individual and

Mejia Honesty is perhaps just as
important a factor in one’s
communication’s skills as
trust. –Ross Elkins
The honest person will live
safely… But dishonesty will
hurt those who are not
trustworthy. –King Solomon
This above all: to your own
self be true, and it must
follow, as the night the day,
thou can’t then be false to any
person. –William Shakespeare

with people is, ‘Let there be truth
between us two forevermore.’
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Honesty is a principle in which we are bound to live
for. It takes a strong faith, a fear of God to live by this
principle.
There are some people who are living in dishonesty:
lying, cheating, indulging, manipulating and serving
their on vested interests, but will lead them nowhere,
for the Bible explicitly tells, “But if you fail to do this,
you will be sinning against the Lord, and you may be
sure, that your sin will find you out.” (Numbers 32:23).
The freedom to choose is ours l, to be honest or not,
