As if you are talking about me Juliana, sometimes to be honest and believe and trust others easily is a great thing cause it let you have more friends and make people love you more, and it makes you love others more and make you tolerant, but in many times being like this make others cheat you more as you say, and the worst is when you discover that someone you trusted, and you were honest with and liked isn't good as you thought... But being like this isn't shortcomings (im sure of this), you just must be so so (don't be so honest and don't trust and believe so fast) and be careful. :) I'm sorry I don't have an answer cause me too Juliana want an answer for this, I've tried to change myself but I couldn't, I even had some troubles at my work cause I'm like this . Everyone has a specific character in this world and he/she cant change it. I've talked alot im sorry :D

I believe that honesty no matter what is needed and essential to having a healthy life. I also believe that when it becomes to believing others you should pay close attention to what they are saying and give each person a fair and equal chance until they prove otherwise and even then give them another. We can't expect people to believe us or be honest with us if we do not give others the chance and do the same. I would rather live my life with world viewing my beliefs as a shortcoming and knowing that I did what was right within my soul than I would living my life at the whim of everyone else, being easily swayed and tossed like a ship in the ocean. I believe that it is possible to be a beacon of light to others, even if it means being spat upon and beaten and even tortured, if men in past history who have done great things were hated by many because they spoke the truth and called those who didn't out on it... what makes us any different. We are all flesh and blood it's just a matter of making our minds up to whether we want to live life correctly or corrupted by the ways of this world and not standing on a fence.

Be true to yourself and treat others as you would wish to be treated.

To be honest is good, but only believe what is worthy of being believed. :)

there are 2 sides to everything and why is being honest always a good thing....dishonesty and honesty are both in our nature...why must u label any of them good or bad?
