last week and week prior, the subject of honesty had come up thrice - each time where I was heavily in disagreement with the office mates.
I'm a firm believer in Truth - as in THE Truth (in full, when applicable) - being THE most important thing in relationships and friendships.
it's quite possible I'm alone in this particular quirk of my mentality, but I believe that an outright lie - whatever the reason behind it - is simply that, a lie.
not telling the truth "because it may hurt someone" is NOT OK - that's when the truth should be even MORE important, because when the truth DOES come out (which it will), it's made worse by the lie.
the same goes for keeping a secret that will hurt someone - when the truth is exposed (which it will be), it's likely it'll be known you hid it and it'll be made worse by keeping it secret.
as already mentioned, my office mates disagree and tried to convince me it was "ok" and "good" to lie and keep the truth from someone if it's harmful (such as someone cheating and keeping it from the cuckolded party).
ANYways... I'm sorry, but Honesty and Truth will always be important to me and something I expect from my close friends, no matter how hard said Truth may be.
weirdly, one of these aforementioned office mates thinks I'm crazy in saying that I'm "undateable," despite most of the people I know - particularly in light of my dating history (or lack thereof) - at least someone agreeing with me.
