It was just in a period of a couple of months but I've learned lot from my relationship with this one special friend of mine, Emil. The most appreciated one is honesty. Honesty is what is needed to build up the trust in each other, however ugly the real thing is and that was what brought us together. On the contrary, honesty also led my relationship with Alifa to its end.
Honesty is about speaking the truth and we speak the truth to the only ones we trust. To some, we keep.
Now, turn that around and lets see.
It is hard to believe that a friend is telling the truth when we know that we would lie if we were at his/her place, is it not? Like, there is a saying, "a half truth is a whole lie" - It's not necessarily correct, but it has some points.
We won't be forcing people to be honest with us and sometimes we won't even ask. But to me, it's simply best to be honest with than to be told nothing or just half a thing.
Have the courage to say No.
Have the courage to accept No.
Apply that to everything.
Do the right thing because it's right. Be honest with your friends.
