They say that "honesty is the best policy." Yet honesty is one of the hardest things for humanity to live out, unless of course you are just temperament is to be super direct. At what point does honesty become...too much?
Honesty doesn't mean saying everything you think and feel, but where do we draw the line? Vulnerability is a necessity of humanity, and yet how vulnerable should one be? At what point does one move from healthy exposure to soul prostitution? Is it merely a matter of the heart and the intentions and expectation in one's giving that determine whether the vulnerability is right or wrong? or is there actually a point where one must cease? Should culture and society define this?
As you can see I have a lot of questions on the matter.
Lately I have found myself consumed by this subject of honesty. In my never ending quest for wholeness and understanding, I now find this at the forefront of my thoughts.
Sadly, I must say that I have come to no conclusions and confess my inability to think it all out at this time...and that frustrates the tar out of me!
It has occurred to me that, like many things that I question about life and reality, that there may not be a clear, black and white answer to my questions.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Any resources to look at to shed some light? Feel free to share!!!
