When it comes to being honest, how do you rate yourself to be in that category? Will your honesty be strong enough to stop you from being selfish with others?

What's the biggest selfish benefit your honesty stopped you from taking advantage of?
 
I can say I am an honest person. I rate myself 8/10 in that category. My honesty is too strong for my selfish interests to take over it.

I remembered a time that a friend asked me to sell off some of his property and he told me the actual price to sell. I sold the property and get a higher money than what he wanted. Because I knew that he was going through a difficult time, I didn't allow my selfish interests to overcome my honesty. I told him the exact price that I sold them and sent him all the money. He resend some parts for me as a token of gratitude.

It is very good what you have done and I can tell you that this is what helps to build trust between you and some other people. This is because tomorrow, the person can vouch for you for being a very honest person.
 
I think so! I don't like lying to myself or even anyone because lies breaks trust for me. I value trust so much because I know that once it's broken, nothing else you say will be believed.

I can't even remember the last time I trusted anyone except for my mother. I've lost all manner of trust for human beings.
 
I want to say I'm an honest person. I wouldn't say I like lying to myself or lying to others.
Being honest is the best way to be.

The story is long and I can't tell them all. This guy trusted me to the extent that one job I had then was recommended by him. My employer told me that he said he will vouch for me every day. I think that what I did back then for him really paid off.

One thing about being honest and truthful at all times is that whenever you are asked something, you can be able to repeat what you said many years ago without changing anything in it.

When someone start lying, the person will continue to lie in order to cover the previous lies and it's not good at all.

There's nothing like being truthful and honest to oneself and to others.

Exactly. Lying is putting yourself in slippery slope because you're definitely going to miss a lie one day and that's the day you're going to be caught.
