Good questions ... Your questions make me feel that you are so senstive character. I will try to answer you from my point of view... 1- Honesty became so difficult at times, may be because people lack morrals and they can make anything in order to reach their aims without caring fo others or how others suffer because of their hurtful and painful deeds. 2- Thanks God that I had never been dishonest with anyone .... but if circumstances force me to be dishonest with anyone ,I think I will hate, scorn and disrespect myself. Because I will feel that I lost one of my best principles. 3- I can be honest and not hurt anyone just by dealing with others as our God orders us .... that we should respect others and respect their feelings, emotions and passions and especially if those people help us and try to be with us so we should be grateful to them not to hurt and decieve them. 4- No I think it is not all right because we should give a full truth. May be sometimes in order not to hurt others .. we give them a partial truth but this may hurt them more when they know the full truth. 5- Sure all bad and disgust deeds based on dishonesty that sometimes dishonesty leads to disasters. So I wish all of us avoid beeing dishonest because dishonesty is one of the most hurtful and painful feelings.

1. I think there are many people who suffered because of this(I mean when they hurt someone saying the truth) and they are more careful. Or they just like to say lies. 2. I would feel miserable(but I try to not do this). 3. Not all the time when you say the truth it's the best way, but it's better. Some people can be hurt, but I prefer the truth,then a lie only to protect me. 4. Depend on what kind the truth it is. 5. uncertainty,suspicion.

These are questions I think everyone should be prepared to answer, since how you answer will tell you what kind of person you really are: 1. Being honest with someone is not so difficult unless you are morally bankrupt and can't see beyond yourself. 2. I have never been dishonest with someone I care about, with the exception of the lies a child might tell their parents to avoid punishment. 3. There may be some questions that are hard to answer without hurting someone, but that is not so difficult if you take the time to think before you answer and treat the other person with respect. 4. This would have to depend on the question, for example your wife or girlfriend asks what you think about their new dress, she is beautiful and the dress is beautiful but it makes her look a little fatter, there is no reason to hurt her feelings by saying she looks fat. 5. Dishonesty destroys relationships and if it becomes a habit, it becomes a way of life.

I think you're talking about "honesty" and "dishonesty" (nouns) without L... "honestly" and "dishonestly" are adverbs. Honesty is difficult because it requires you to tell the truth, all the truth, whatever it is... but there's no warranty truth is always so beautiful or just pleasing to hear (in fact, it's often the opposite); in addiction the truth may be something shameful or someway bad about you, that you would not like to let others know. In my opinion, honesty is the gratest form of respect, because we're sincerely honest only with the ones we value and trust; however, (even though dishonesty causes misunderstanding) you might need to be dishonest sometimes just in order not to hurt somebody – actually, truth does not work always. Of course whether hurting or not someone also depends on the way you put the truth; nevertheless I'm pretty convinced you should think carefully before telling it or not. It mainly depends on the situations: sometimes it'll be better to lie, sometimes to tell all the truth, sometimes to tell only a part of it... the reaction of the other will let you know if you did right, and your feeling just depends on this. But this is about your private life and relationships with close people! All crimes and shameful actions are based on dishonesty – think about not paying taxes or stealing and so on, so obviously honesty is preferred at all in public life, in the way you deal with the world. If we were all honest... :)
