Honesty

Several occurrences as of late have prompted me to write this post. Honesty means the world to me. No matter how much something hurts or how you think I will react, I really value honesty above any virtue. Anything that is built on lies or has a lie involved is doomed to fail. I feel that no matter what the situation is you need to have the courage to be honest. I also value courage. It takes a lot to stand up to people, especially the ones you love. I try to encourage and foster the growth of courage in my friends and family. It is an essential virtue that is needed in order to be successful in life. I truly hate the fact that in order to get honesty or courage from people that I love that I need to provoke them. I hate the fact that I need to be angry and fight with people in order to hear the truth or get people to stand up for themselves. I think I should just host a seminar on courage and honesty and invite everyone to come. I can't wait to hear all the excuses (lies) why people can't come. I'm sure that they wouldn't have the courage to face their weaknesses and improve themselves.
