honesty miniver Can you believe it? Aha! I feel all juicy and controversial-like. 001205 ... lovers lament so that was what blathercriticism was for? to draw attention to yourself, be it negative or positive. i think we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen. so far, miniver has proven to own every trait she has criticized. *clap*clap* 001209 ... Mlle Avril ...is the best policy, unless the man wondering if his butt looks big in that pair of pants is holding a rifle. 001223 ... The Prophet Awakes Pyriel is here to present you with nothing of magical value. It is all physically explainable and needs to be understood by all. Logical is the way of the wise and no miricale may go unexplained. Time is all of spending tword this cause. When I see miricales go unexplained, I begin to explain not of words. You shall live your lessons to fulfill your capible understanding of the mechanics thereof. They will be of patterns visible to the perception of man. 010307 ... sabbie i have poured all my honesty into so many poems in such a short time that sometimes i feel i have used it all up and i have no honesty left 010308 ... sabbie empty vessel empty poetry empty blather? 010308 ... mikey honesty is another double edged sword if you tell the truth at all times it would be bad. nothing in excess. this rule of thumb holds true ive found in life. except sex. for which i get none but i wont ever say i get to much! of course...easy to say when im getting none. contradicting myself. how redundant. 010309 ... The Truth You can tell me...really...it'll be ok. 010730 ... whoknows you say you can never be an honest person again. but when were you ever honest with me? 011101 ... ClairE unhinged: "honesty is not particularly seductive to me" (see jon) It is all I live for. 011127 ... ClairE People say that it can only hurt people, but since when has anyone been able to get through life without accomplishing that? It only becomes sharp and dangerous when there are people who don't want it. 011218 ... blown cherry Don't know if I've even been completely and utterly honest about every aspect of myself with anyone. Can anyone truly be anyway? Maybe if it was reciprocated, maybe then. To absolutely co-exist with another person. I don't know if that can be done. Two separate beings completely open and bare with one another. A beautiful ideal that perhaps belongs only in dreams. 020729 ... sterling625 honesty is something that it seems many people in this world seriously lack. why? i was once asked if i thought i was honest at an interview and i said, "i'd like to think of myself as an honest person, but i guess everyone makes mistakes and bad judgements at times." i got that job. 030105 ... girl_jane Honesty is something he values a great deal, and I was honest. I told him I love him...well-maybe I wasn't completely honest. Perhaps I should have told him that I'm IN love with him. 030106 ... chage The perfection of honesty with another is beautful freedom. It is frustrating when the beautiful freedom is so wonderful that you find yourself trying too hard to preserve it, and the honest interactions become slightly contrived. 030106 ... chage Remedy: slap yourself in the face, and let it happen natuarally. Ahh the beautiful freedom.... 030106 ... stork daddy we all start as lancelot, bold unafraid, life the dirty word under our breath. we all end as arthur, conquering more than we can defend. the mismatch between the ideal and the reality so suddenly apparent. we sought to protect what we had so eagerly that we removed as much substance from one another as possible just to keep each other portable. so worried we'd lose the relationship, we stopped taking the risk of relating. 030106 ... no reason one of the things i most liked about you was your sincerity. you cared about things so openly, and related personal elements to everything. you gained my trust right away, which is rare in itself. however, i suppose sincerity doesn't necessarily equal honesty. or come along with fearlessness, because, i'm afraid, you're acting like a fucking coward. maybe you don't even notice... but i notice. i notice that you don't seem to ever talk to me anymore, unless i talk to you first...in which case, it's an empty and meaningless conversation that ends soon after it starts, with some lame excuse on your part. you were so different in person... such a nice person and intent listener with a warm smile that would make me smile for the rest of the day... sigh and as far as i know, the only thing that's changed has been that one e-mail that i sent you, which was really not much at all, but either way i hope it didn't make you feel uncomfortable. i hate thinking that you might be uncomfortable around me, or trying to avoid me, or just flat out not like me. i hate not knowing. i wish you would just TELL me, because i know something's changed. tell me everything. so we're not left with this awkwardness or emptiness or who knows what for who knows how long, with no reason whatsoever. at least none of which i was ever informed. tell me, dammit, be fucking honest honestyhonestyhonestyhonesty. i just want the full, raw, unabashed truth. let me know if there is legitimate pain to be felt, so i can deal with it. don't be afraid to scald me. 030619 ... Fire&Roses I gave you my money I gave you my time I gave you my body I gave you my heart Now you may have my honesty as well. 030722 ... :( what do you do, when you dont have this from someone in a relationship, how can you try to be more understanding when the one you love has a hard time telling you the truth and being upfront about it no matter the reason why they held back maybe i am asking for too much but when you say that trust and honesty are key components in a relationship that it is a must and that if you do not have that what do you have, but you go against those words time and time again tell me what am i to think 030823 ... :( what do you do, when you dont have this from someone in a relationship, how can you try to be more understanding when the one you love has a hard time telling you the truth and being upfront about it no matter the reason why they held back maybe i am asking for too much but when you say that trust and honesty are key components in a relationship that it is a must and that if you do not have that what do you have, but you go against those words time and time again tell me what am i to think 030823 ... :( what do you do, when you dont have this from someone in a relationship, how can you try to be more understanding when the one you love has a hard time telling you the truth and being upfront about it no matter the reason why they held back maybe i am asking for too much but when you say that trust and honesty are key components in a relationship that it is a must and that if you do not have that what do you have, but you go against those words time and time again tell me what am i to think 030823 ... :( sorry blather was having problems 030823 ... :( ironic how the tables turn former you complaining about an unhonest person not giving you their honesty how lovely wonder when and if my table will turn 030823 ... phil It doesn't sound interesting; I just do it. 031019 ... Doar another vaunted notion, never had it, don't know it. 031030 ... randomly recent hmm.. ! 040115 ... taffy a rare gift 040219 ... misstree i have no choice, from heritages, from obscure astral dispositions, from ultimate trust, from guiding surgeon's hand. you have my every word. 040220 ... ee beep peep i secretly think that no one really likes me for being honest 040220 ... etc Can I believe in honesty if I don't believe in truth? 040404 ... sameolme yes, even if you don't believe in "truth" in an absolute way, you can still try to be progressively more truthful. 040404 ... etc how do I progress towards something that I don't belive exists? 040405 ... Not the Daddy I'm starting to think there's someting really wrong with me. Whenever I hear guys talking about girls I get so angry I have to walk away. Why do they have to be so nasty about it? I hit a guy the other day just for saying bitch instead of girl, he wasn't calling her names or anything, that was just the word he used. I punched him right in the chest and it felt so damn good. I fantasize about carrying a knife and stabbing guys in the crotch when they talk about girls that way. And I'd like to stab the stupid bitches who sleep with guys even though they're like that, too. I'm not a lesbian but I'd never have sex with a guy who was like that, ever. 040405 ... sameolme Every body knows without being told, their own personal truths. To deny them by saying you "don't believe in truth" is dishonest. If you can tell when you're being dishonest,then you are capable of honesty. 040405 ... etc I do believe in honesty. I can tell when I am being dishonest. But I don't have any 'personal truths'. I may say something today quite honestly, and say it again tomorrow perfectly dishonestly. 040405 ... misstree so you mean you don't have any "absolute truths." and honesty is not a constant thing; if, for example, i said i was working at no name saloon while i was actually working there, it would be honest... if i were to say it today, it would be dishonest. honesty is just whether you present the truth or falsehoods (as you percieve each) in your dealings with yourself and others. 040405 ... etc hmmm So it's about being honest about your own internal state? So that would mean your honesty depended on how deep you could dig down into your self? And if it is possible that you have contradictions coexisting in you, then you can be instantaneously honest and dishonest? And if that is the case, then honesty depends on the arbitrary(?) position of you within your self, and how well you express that position out side of your self? Then what happens to all those people who are dishonest with themselves? The deeper I get inside myself, the more I find myself bumping into other people. Am I drowning in a big soup of lack-of-fixedness? 040405 ... delial nothing i ever told you was a lie i love you, care for you all i'm saying now is you misinterpreted the kind of love i meant don't blame me for not speaking when you're folding your ears and if i didn't care at all - like you seem to think this wouldn't bother me as much as it does and it does bother me if you're now throwing away our friendship because i won't commit myself to you in that way, what does that mean? were we ever really friends to begin with? i'm beginning to wonder. 040525 ... minnesota_chris honesty is REALLY overrated. Some of the worst things you can possibly say are painfully true. Like telling the person you know who is incredibly ugly that they will be single forever? 040525 ... u24 does honesty exist? it's all relative. 040623 ... common conversation ...dresses up in lies to seem more appealing 051214 ... hsg leads to the end of time 081104 ...

Oh wait, I have. 110509 ... unhinged my boss at work thinks i'm disrespectful because when i say no just like everyone else i don't bat my little eyelashes and giggle. he tells me i attract assholes because i have no confidence. why would i have confidence if even when i'm open and honest with people they take whatever they came for anyways regardless of how they know i feel? i don't say no because even when i do it doesn't matter anyways. the arguing and the convincing and the smooth talking ensues and i either end up alone or talked into something i didn't want. i_give_up what's the point of being real, human when everyone else has a hidden agenda? 121104 ... Risen Really isn't my friend. When on earth will I learn to lie again? I used to be good at it. 150309 what's it to you? who go blather from
