"Honesty is such a lonely word....honesty is hardly ever heard..."
Who doesn't know those lyrics from Billy Joel's "Honesty"?
Ok, how about Beyonce's "I Am...Sasha Fierce" album, Track #2. Yes perhaps most of you recognise this chorus line there.
Why is honesty being called such a lonely word?
When one is honest with themselves, they find that the truth is their own truth and not anyone else's truth.
So, most people would rather lie to themselves and others in order to project an image or belong to a group.
Take this example. A well known Metaphysics teacher, destiny reader, ancient knowledge teacher, what kind of life behind the facade he puts out, do you think he would have?
An enlightened one?
Think again.
When one is not in search of their true self, resorting into easing the pain and hurt of life in things like one's accomplishments and praise from others, one will not find true happiness.
"Happiness is the truth" .... at least Will Pharell 'got it' in his current hit.
cute :) I def believe in being honest to yourself and others!
