Honesty

How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.

Honesty is very important to me but not as important as kindness or other traits in people. Some would say that if a person is dishonest, they are not a good person; I disagree. I have a friend that is so sweet to everyone. She is always there for me and is loyal and accepting. She has a problem with honesty. Sometimes she will lie to get out of getting in trouble. This does not make her a worse person. She is still the most loving person I have ever met. Honesty does not determine everything, nor does any other quality. Everyone has their weaknesses and judging a persons' heart on honesty alone is wrong. Honesty is important, but not over anything else.
