an expect that of them is if I have a sure fire justification that my way is right...but I don't so where am I? Who knows? Is honesty some common unspoken societal belief? Or spawned of some religious base? Or are people only honest because they fear retribution? Are they better people for speaking it out of fear, and not obligation? These questions have been asked for centuries, the dude who told "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" was born in the 6thCentury Before Christ. He was a slave to Egyptian King Cleombrotus, his name was Aesop. The questions have been answered using words like nobility, integrity, and virtue. Yet none of them fit, none of them completely explain why people owe it to each other to be honest. This is because they don't owe anything to each other, they owe it to themselves. People that lie go against the grain, they are frowned upon and rightly so. Deep inside everyone knows that if they lie its wrong, a little fib here, embellishment there, whats the harm? I'll tell you what the harm is, its a *censored* load of grey in my life that I don't really need....
