Honesty is the Best Policy - this is a well-known idiom, but how true is it? You've probably heard of this since young from your parents, learnt it in your schooldays, among your buddies & even in the working world, but how many of us practice it? Let's not comment on others, do a quick self-check, are you being honest to the people around you all these while? =)Well, I admit that I do lie sometimes, but they are usually white lies to please others. It is not easy to break unpleasant news to others, especially to those whom we dearly loved & cared. By not telling them the truth, it may bring smile, laughter & happiness to them. They will continue to live without any worries or doubts, thinking they are the most fortunate person on earth, having the most trustable friends & everything in their life are flawless! Such a lovely & wonderful life, isnt it?
Natalie was a sweet & cheerful girl, till the truth was revealed, her life fell apart totally. She was heartbroken & what worse was she discovered the truth on her own!!! Finding out the ugly truth was painful & Natalie was in depression for months. She was unable to accept & face the reality. She was in doubts - constantly wondering whether the truth that she has discovered is real? She was convincing herself that everything will be alright one day. However, during that time she was emotionally & mentally bothered.
"Why is this happening to me?? What have I done wrong to deserve this?? Should I forgive & forget??" - these were the questions lingering around Natalie. She prayed hard every day & night, asking for guidance & courage from The Above. Days & months have passed & she still hasnt got a definite & honest answer from her loved ones. Till today, Natalie is still searching for the truth. She is hoping that time will heal everything & situation will be better one day. She lives a miserable life & can no longer easily trust anyone. She does not want to be hurt & betrayed again.
If Natalie's loved ones were honest to her from the beginning, will she live differently now? Or should Natalie just live like who she was before, pretending not knowing the truth? I missed Natalie's cheerful laughter & I would love to see her being happy again. So, is honesty the best policy? I'll leave it to you to judge.
