Everyone dreams of a good and honest friend, spouse, boss, co-worker. Is not it? Kindness and honesty are qualities that most people try to find in other people, forgetting that it is first of all necessary to be so yourself.
What is honesty?
Talk about honesty. It is worth trying to define this rather complicated concept. Honesty is a character trait when a person always tells the truth and tries not to lie under any circumstances. He avoids lies, omissions. Honesty is the ability to always admit being wrong, it is the ability to never make excuses, to be sincere in any situation. An honest person has a never-dormant conscience that strictly controls all his actions and actions.
About honesty
There are two types of honesty - honesty with others and honesty with oneself. At first glance it seems that being completely frank in private with yourself is very easy. However, it is not. Very often people fall into a network of illusions created by them and can stay in them for a long time. For example, there are times when a person considers the other person to be his most sincere friend, trusts him in everything, helps, and after years it turns out that friendship as such did not exist. Just the first one wanted to believe in this holy feeling, and the other just skillfully took advantage of its principles. Therefore, it is very important never to deceive yourself.
Now let's talk about honesty with others. What is included in this concept? First of all, it is fidelity to your word. An honest person will always fulfill his promise, help in difficult times. You can trust him as yourself. He always speaks on business and is better silent than he will flatter and sing praises.
Is it easy to be honest?
Unfortunately, to be honest in the modern world is not easy, since deception, meanness and betrayal can be found at every step. In most cases, they love people who can cheat, evade an answer, or scatter in compliments. That is why a man had an unbearably difficult mission to bring kindness and light to this world. Honesty is not only a quality of character, but also the duty of those people who consider themselves highly moral. There are several reasons why people choose honesty. Those who believe in God will say that the seventh commandment says: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." And they will be completely right, living according to the Lord's precepts. Others, unbelievers, can also be no less honest, since they cannot live otherwise. Thus, we can conclude that honesty comes in different ways.
Human honesty also lies in eradicating lies. He will try his best not to let anyone else lie, and in any situation he will ensure that justice triumphs.
Laws of the universe
Honesty is life, according to the laws of the universe. It is worth noting that they are all honest. For example, the law of a boomerang. He did a good job - in the future it will definitely return, committed an evil act and, it seems, has forgotten about it, but no, it will return, and at the most inopportune moment. Honestly, is n't it?
A little bit about straightforwardness
However, it is necessary to distinguish between honesty and excessive straightforwardness, or even rudeness. An honest person is always correct, although he is telling the truth. The straightforward one says everything he thinks about, not even assuming that his words are not always in place and can hurt his neighbor. In truth, be correct above all.
Be honest and sincere, and then your conscience will always remain calm. Also, do not forget that you must be sincere in front of yourself. Good luck in this difficult but very necessary matter!
