Become A Truthteller ....One Day Could Make A
Difference
Now
more than ever, the truth has become a rarity in national life. Accusations are
flying about misstatements, manufactured claims, and secret agendas that led
this country into conflict. It’s time for us to get “RADICALLY HONEST”. Maybe
it’ll catch on if we understand:
This unofficially proclaimed “day of honesty” is attributed
to M. Hirsh Goldberg who
wrote five books; one was about lies and the lack of ethics in
the business and political arena, including people’s personal lives.
WHY
LYING IS SO COMMON?
The nature of lying is a learned form of self-governance, attempted control of others, and a way of survival for many people.
How we are taught to lie from our parents and other institutions in society.
We lie because we are afraid of being ourselves or offending others.
IS LEARNING NOT TO LIE POSSIBLE?
Unlearning lying is possible with practice, commitment and the willingness to go through the process. Freedom then comes from never having to lie, make up stories, or cover-up for ourselves, and the sense of integrity that comes with it. I advises everyone to give honesty a try...I have proof that it can change life. Honesty is the blueprint for transforming life by being totally honest those who implemented the concept of honesty in their lives, real people who were willing to do things differently, actual change and its reverberating effects are demonstrated, showing how honesty has an impact other’s lives as well.
The ability to maintain congruity when performing requires a level of unconscious commitment and belief in our own honesty that is hard to maintain if we're not actually being honest.

Do people really want the truth?
§ “Honey,
do you think this makes me look fat? “
§ “Isn’t
my child the most talented?”
§ “We’ll
be in town next week. Can we stay with you?”
Sometimes, people perceive the truth as being mean or
insensitive. It seems that you can’t come out with the truth for fear of
hurting someone’s feelings.
The truth is welcome when the news or comment is positive.
However, if you are going to use the truth to tell me something negative about
myself or my work, then, that’s just mean!
Before I go on, do you think that there is a
difference between men and women in how direct the communication is?
Don’t go cray-cray ladies. It’s not necessarily a “bad” thing, only that it
takes more consideration and a little sprinkling of “fairy dust” when
we express displeasing opinions. We are concerned about how
it will come across to the person and whether it will hurt them or not.
“Honesty pays, but it doesn’t seem to pay enough to suit
some people.” –Kin Hubbard,
Etiquette is an attitude.
