Mr. Green Depand on the situation.......

Unfaithful people being honest, imagine the result

Faithful people being honest leh?? I think it still depends on the people who we are talking to.

Unfaithful people being honest and really sincerely can lead to positive result if his/her spouse is forgiving ...

Let think it in such a way.....

unfaithful people will only be honest when they are forced to. Twisted Evil

faithful people can be honest anytime, cause what they do is always for the good of the other half Mr. Green

But seriously, it depends on the situation and subject we are talking about. Cool

the Bear SG

it doesn't sometimes, but then... one of the lines in Mother Teresa's Orphanage wall..

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.

for ultimately, like it is said:

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

be honest... what would it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?

FaTe_TwisTer SG

well at least it doesnt pay to be honest in JB or even Malaysia. Neutral

askxyz SG

Ya, the more I try to be honest and open myself to them, the more they try to devour me. Sad sad world. Sad

Robotics999 SG

I don't think so.
A lot of people feel that being honest is a basic rule/manners. So being honest is just another "matter of fact" thing, so they don't really care or appreciate us being honest and just take it for granted.(people being honest to you, you eat them. you being honest to others but they eat you, you cow father cry mother!!!)
The only time when they do appreciate us being honest is when they are out trying to eat us. Sadly, I'm also alwyas being eaten...

epImetheus SG

it is not about them. but about yourself, a matter of conscience. if you can sleep well at night knowing that u r dishonest with some ppl & causing them problems/grief/hurt , then dun be honest.

Aveme SG

i can only say that it pays to be honest to people who are important to you,eg family and close friends.Being too honest with everyone else will only bring you disadvantages in our realistic world.

S_T_F_U SG

ne0matrix SG

It all depends... Twisted Evil

Eclipzer SG

and u noe the answer.

newcomer SG

In a business sense, it does in the long term. However, if short term gain is your goal, you shouldn't be honest.
Honesty is a double edged sword. Remember that.

ShutterBug SG

It may not always pays to be honest to others around you, BUT, it will always pay to be honest to YOURSELF.

ditzy SG

Yes, for me that is. Laughing
