Honesty. The lie that everyone believes. Yet it is this lie we basically breath. How can one be honest, when the world tells us not to be? How can one lie, when the world tells us to be honest? There is a double standard in this world. One that tells us too much honesty is evil, but to little is insidious. How can we adhere to the demands of the world? The answer is, We can’t. We lie to be honest, but to be honest is to lie. Honestly, we should all just hope that these double standards die.

Honesty Is A Lie
Honesty. The lie that everyone believes. Yet it is this lie we basically breath. How can one be honest, when the world tells us not to be? How can one lie, when the world tells us to be honest? There is a double standard in this world. One that tells us too much honesty is evil, but to little is insidious. How can we adhere to the demands of the world? The answer is, We can’t. We lie to be honest, but to be honest is to lie. Honestly, we should all just hope that these double standards die.
