a majority of distinguished people all posess the same characteristic: honesty. observing past and present relationships, i've come to realize i have never been completely honest with a single individual. neither a family member, nor a friend; absolutely no one. then again - has anyone ( Read more... )

I've see this everday. Even in myself.

I wish I could be honest with one person and not omit anything and totally explode and spill every detail of every moment. Sounds like a book opportunity. But who would want to read that? You're one of the few people that I can come close to mentioning things that are usually unsaidities. y'know....like pissing yourself driving home from the round grill, stuff like that. Allen Ginsburg never allowed himself to feel embarressed or to deny himself. I think that's pretty admirable. Our deep, inner, sometimes disturbing, thoughts shouldn't be something hidden and taboo. Afterall, we all have them. Maybe someday we'll all be able to talk freely about everything and anything. That would sure simplify life.

you actually did end up telling me the way you felt about those "situations." at least after they happened. you're one of the most honest people i know. even if you dont think so yourself. and even if it means saying hurtful things, i'm kind of thankful you say them. so in short, your sub text might not be as subtle as you think it is. or maybe i'm totally wrong.

forget about hurting people's feeling with honesty.

that's like worrying about making a sick person feel worse by giving him or her medicine. even if they don't want it, it's better for them. you'll probably feel better too.

but what do i know? that's just my crazy opinion.

the truth is better, because it's easier
to keep track of. but, i am not one to
comment too much on the subject of truth.
because i do lie quite a bit, mostly to my
parents and superiors, and when i don't
want friends hurt.

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible.

you know, and we just talked about this, some people really can't deal with honesty.

sometimes the honest person becomes an asshole.
