are you being honest?
I saw this quote while on the way home on the bus. Honesty is the first chapter to wisdom. I kinda agree with it. The problem with people nowadays is that they are not frank to each other. This will cause unwanted misunderstandings and conflicts. Without being honest to each other, you will not understand each other and always assume things for granted. I always make sure to know what those people around me are thinking or understand what problems there are between people around me like my friends.
Think of it in another perspective. For example, playing a guessing charade. People must have mutual understanding and communication in order for the last person to guess the answer. If someone add his or her own gesture, sometimes it helps but sometimes it become impossible to guess out the answer. It is kinda possible to see a person's character too. Those who think a lot will take a longer time or add his or her gesture. There is no such thing of being smart in the game. The last person has to be very observant and understanding about people's gestures in order to guess the answer.
I've been honest about things. That's why I seek out answers. If there's no honesty between us, how will we understand each other? No one's able or should guess or assume.
