Honesty is the best policy?

Sometimes it makes me wonder…

but I consider myself as close to the most honest person you might ever meet.. or I’ll try to be at the very least…

I would never intentionally hurt ones feelings, and I try my hardest to live by the “golden rule” of do unto other as you would have done unto you… but at the same time, if I think you’re doing or saying something inappropriate, or cruel, or down right strange (haha), I’ll be the first to tell you so.  As for me.. if I’m acting like an idiot.. please let me know 🙂

Some days, I think I should have been a defense lawyer… or pshrink’ … or a prison guard!  bwwwaa-aaahhhh!!!  When I see someone get knocked down, my first reaction is to 1) help them back up, and 2) defend them.  A good quality, you would think ….

My poor children, they have no idea what is in store for them, lol

I think there is honest goodness in every person… and each of us deserves a chance to prove ourselves (more than once!).  Which… in itself has gotten me into much trouble. But again… there has to be goodness in us all, and I just try to weed it out (even in the thickest and nastiest of “gardens!”), even getting stung in the process of it.

I try to be a good listener… and  lend my shoulder… hand… hugs… wallet (lol)… to those who need it.. even when not asked for.  Which is why I’ve come to the conclusion… is honesty the best policy?

Beats me! But maybe these lil quotes will put a few thoughts into proper place….

Look a man in the eye and say what you really think, don’t just smile at him and say what you’re supposed to think.
