Honesty

      How many people do you think are honest?  Are there good, wholesome, honest people who will still tell a "little white lie" but continue to think they are honest people.

             Honesty - truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness
                            - freedom from deceit or fraud    


Based on the definition of honesty, I would have to conclude that the typically honest person who tells an untruth has now been dishonest.  Is it acceptable to be dishonest "sometimes?"  Is honesty a character trait that is difficult to find?  When you know somebody is lying, do you call them on it or is knowing they lied more valuable?   What is worse, lying about lots of little things or one big thing?  I imagine you could spend hours discussing the aforementioned questions.
      Why would somebody lie and say I didn't hear the phone ring, why not say I didn't feel like talking to you.  Should you tell the truth to somebody who asks your opinion about how they look?  What if they didn't ask your opinion?  I'm sure you have all heard the saying "the truth hurts",  or how about "you can't handle the truth."  Is there something to be said by those statements?
    So I ask myself, by definition, "are there more honest or dishonest people in America?"  I guess it depends on your interpretation of  honesty.   One thing I know for sure, if you are an honest person, stand in your truth of honesty no matter how many times you may be deceived.

BE YOUR BEST SELF!!!!!!!
