    No. Why did you guess that? Or are you just trying to be rude?

    A rather odd joke. I still don't get it.

    Honesty shouldn't be aspired to, it should just be. It's already there, we've just covered it up or pushed it to the side

    Can only be actualized if we let go of our confining definitions and restrictive perspectives

    People are already bound, The differences amongst us are subtle- the same objects except one dances clockwise while the other dances counter clockwise

    2nd time actually and the first time I answered with a question to try and give some perspective.

    My answer to you is that honesty is not a policy; so no, I'm not saying honest is the best policy.

    Now will you answer my question to you which was:

    "are you saying [suggesting by your question] there is some merit in being dishonest"

    I think your answer that honesty is not a policy, is evasive. You might as well say in response to the question, "That's a nice puppy over there."

    In answer to your question: Sometimes dishonesty is called for, such as the Nazi at the door scenario, who asks the question you have to answer is, "Are there any Jews here?" There are all kinds of rationalizations about how to protect the Jews you are harboring while not being dishonest, but the fact is, we do have dilemmas in life where we have to choose between options neither of which we would choose by itself. Anybody who can get through life without facing this dilemma is living a miraculously charmed life.
