How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.
I think that being honest is very important. If someone is being honest, then they are also being kind, even if it means hurting the persons felings because then they are not living in a lie.
All the time my sister will ask me if there is: something on her face, if her hair is straight enough, or her clothes match.....ect. Every time I tell her the truth like "theres a wavy spot in the back" she freaks out and says "I just spent 30 minutes straightneing my hair!!!" but then if I tell her that it looks really good, she questions me and says "are you sure?" then asks my mom. Every time I am honest with her she just doesnt believe me bcause thats not what she wants to hear.
My best friend, she always tells me if there is something wrong, or something doesnt look good. Thats what I love about her is that she isnt scared to tell me something like that and I end up not walking around all day looking like a loser. since I know that she can tell me, I can tell her stuff like that too, and then we dont have to be worried about anything all day.
When someone is honest with me, I hae more trust in them and i consider it kind that they tell me the truth, when lying might make me feel better for a little bit but then it is unkind to lie to them just so they dont get embarrased or something like that.
