Most of us have heard the saying that "a lie has short legs" but it seems to me that this particular pair of limbs can get you quite far if you know how to benefit from this untamed phenomenon. In this essay I would like to explain why I think honesty is out of date.
Let's begin with personal relationships. Being honest or what's worse-being frank here leads to all kinds of problems. Take, for example, the relationship between husbands or partners. If you're direct with your loving husband about his balding head or his expanding belly, you could be in serious trouble. The result is that he will start pointing out your own faults or he will become embarrassed about his body. And it's the same with friends. If you can't depend on them to give you the comments you would like to hear about your new partner, skirt or hair style, then your friendship is unlikely to last.
Integrity at work is just as dangerous. In the first place, an ethical or truthful worker can cause a business dearly. It might start with an innocent holding of desired information about the relationship between the secretary and the boss when this top secret knowledge should surely be in public hands. Not so serious, You may say, but it's my belief that this shows a person who doesn't value the benefits of intrigues and lying. Secondly, a trustworthy worker makes for a bad colleague. Most people work in teams and if You cannot rely on a colleague to pass on gossip , the team will break down.
In sum, it is my belief that honesty in our lives is absolutely calamitous. Take it away and our lives would become more pleasant and this will effect others too.
