I don't think I'd have any particular problem with being proved wrong about something - I'd have more of a problem with everyone else knowing I was wrong! Which, when I thought about it, seemed to filter down to honesty being tied up with (for me) 'reputation'. To suggest to anyone that you could easily 'live without love' and then be 'exposed' to be basically quite lonely and emotionally stunted would (for me) instantly BRAND me as all sorts of unenviable things -- immature, short-sighted, sensationalist, a bad judge of human character etc etc. I suppose I could live with just me thinking I was sorely mistaken, but to have everyone else see that too - oooh, painful!

I think that honesty can also be linked to pride.Like how you said about the route and finding the best way.They always say guys don't ask for direction cause it's a blip in their ego.And when they get lost it's hard to admit they were wrong. Telling the truth is hard because you have to own up to a lot of things,like admitting you may have been wrong. Honesty is definitely the best policy!When we are willing to reliaze their are certain hings out of our control and the fact we can't always be right,then we can perhaps be able to be a little more honest. But it still won't be an easy thing to do.

If you belied it to be the truth, then you were honest. You can definitively be wrong and still be honest. ......is such a lonely woooord...everyone is so untruuuue... ^^ Honestly?:P
