Christine,

The thing with honesty is that most of us are not self-aware enough to be honest.  We do not know ourselves enough to be truly honest.  Plus us humans are living contradictions.  We may say/think one thing but our unconscious beliefs cause us to do something else.  Plus our beliefs are not consistent.  Bottom line, we all behave according to how we learned to survive which we learned when we were young.

So regardless of what we say to each other, it is not necessarily true for we ourselves don’t know our own truth… which can be fluid and inconsistent.
