Why Being Honest Make You Suffer

Why is it so hard to be honest?

Honesty has a power very few people can handle.It takes a lot of courage and self discipline to be honest with self and with others. It's not easy. And if you're really honest, people consider you an alien. You're not normal.On the surface, the concept of honesty seems simple enough. All we have to do is tell the truth in every situation, right? Then why is it that otherwise truthful people will justify distorting the truth in certain situations? If being honest makes life simple then why would anyone purposely complicate things by being even slightly dishonest? Because there are challenges a honest person have to face.Side effects that honest people Face.1.

It's when you're being brutally honest or say something honestly which others don't like.And that's when we purposely complicate things by being dishonest even if being honest makes life simple. :)

Why is honesty so difficult?

Because a lie can be shaped to sound so perfectly and honesty is the truth, which is constant, and cannot be changed without being true. You fear that someone will be angry or not accept you after you tell them the truth, because it could hurt them. But the truth is always much better, lies just make it worse because they find out anyway.

Why honest people always suffer?

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?According to the Law of Karma, bad things happen to good people as a reaction or result of some bad karma that they may have done in the past. And good things may happen to bad people sometimes as a result of some good karma that they may have done in this past.The Law of Karma is an absolute law and it gives the perfect result to every action at the correct most opportune time. It might take hundreds or even millions of lifetimes before the exact situation arrives for the exact reaction to be given to the individual for the karma performed millions of lifetimes in the past. For those people who have a very myopic view to life with birth as the beginning and death as the end, this form of absolute justice is very bewildering. For those people who see the continuum of life of the spirit soul, which changes bodies just like a person changes clothes, the law of Karma is the most perfect form of justice, where for every action there is a perfect, just reaction, at the perfect time.Eg. In villages there are big granaries or silos, which store huge amounts of grains. The grains are always put in from the top and are removed from the bottom of the silo. Please imagine a scenario where a farmer has a poor harvest and puts bad quality of grain in the silo. Next harvest is bountiful and the same farmer puts in huge quantities of good quality grain into the silo. A few days later he opens the silo from the bottom to remove some grains.Lo and behold! To his dreaded surprise, he finds bad quality grains there. What is his natural question? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do bad grains come out of the silo when I put in good grains? The answer is simple, because in the past he had put bad quality grains in the silo and now he is reaping the result of that. As you sow, so shall you reap. To fully appreciate the law of Karma one has to rise above the bodily concept of life of here and now.Accepting reincarnation of the soul as a concrete principle is the foundation on which it is possible to understand karma. People who think in terms of one life, one body and fail to make the connection of the soul with all the previous lifetimes will always remain bewildered and confused when faced with this dilemma of “Why bad things happen to good people?” For them the law of Karma will always remain an enigma.

If honesty is the best policy, why do honest people suffer more?

Honesty is the best policy…!Take for eg. ‘Any insurance policy will cover the risk of loss incurred in case of any contingent liability’.[Contingent liability : The possible obligation as an outcome of any past event, whose liability depends upon on happening or non-happening of one or more future uncertain event which will result into embodying future economic benefits in the form of cash outflows to settle the liability]But you have to ‘pay the premium (calculated as per se the nature of loss insured, it may be more or less as per the substance rather than its form) as an expense for the loss insured for the period’.Too much technical???Well thn the que. Is in itself tricky to explain the quantomWhy do honest people suffer more ???Same goes with the honesty…it is an guarantee assured that it will always save you in turbulent times.For instance : Because of denomination scheme of central govt., the only person who is sleeping without popping pills is the honest man.But you have to pay the premium as an expense in daily day to day life,you have to suffer the most,you will be provoked the most,you will have to sacrifice the most, not just you but also your immediate family if they have to,Look at the brighter side of darkness
but then you will set right eg. For your kids and society,they will look up to you as an Great Honest Man,you will built the long lasting relationship (let it be in frienship or in work life),you will built the most credibility than your peers,you will earn the respect that you have never demanded,you will be worshipped even after your demise….It seems it is an product of Telebrands™Choose wisely, live well…!

Why do some people suffer the most despite being humble and honest?

To be frank,the world does not care how the person is,whether he is strong or weak,good or bad,humble or cruel.All the world has is motives and the people who see that, work in order to fulfill that motive…..some for the world and some for themselves.You must have read everywhere that no matter what comes we should see the good in every situation.Well..it is true because you know you cannot control how things will turn out..the only thing you can do is control yourself your mind…Every human being in this world suffers in some or the other way…we cannot judge the problems by measuring their difficulties..but all suffer,it is bound to happen…some are strong enough to handle it and some weak tend to give up…and there are some who dont give a damn….We can either fight it really,or stop caring about it because not some things but many things cannot be changed..If we are the person what we want..then it wont matter how good or bad the situation is..we will know how to react..If you know about the series FRIENDS,then be like Joey.. :) and not Ross.. :)So stop worrying and start living your life exactly like you want…Good Luck! :)

Do honest people ever make it big in life?

It is a myth that dishonest people thrive in the system while honest people suffer. The fact is that honest people suffer if they are not competent.Let me explain by an example.You are writing a competitive examination or your board examination. If you are well prepared for the examination, you will get high score without copying or cheating.If your preparation is poor, you are sure to fail if you are also honest i.e. you refuse to copy. If you are honest, you can’t succeed without merit; but there is some possibility to success in the examination with cheating even if you know nothing. You must, however, remember that you also carry the risk of being rusticated and even jailed if you are caught in cheating.It is true that many dishonest people succeed in the world but it is also a fact that a large number of them are punished for the dishonesty and spend quite some time in jail. The only way an incompetent person can succeed in life is by cheating. Since there are a large numbers of incompetent people in the world,they blame their honesty for their failure while they can easily see a large number of honest people reaching to the top by fair means alone.Let us take the case of Indian politics which is considered to be filled of dishonest people. However, even in politics you find that honest people like Atal Bihari Bajpai, Manmohan Singh and now Narendra Modi have become PM, the top post in the country.Even in the field of business, you have people like Ratan Tata, Narayana Murthy, Azim Premji who have the reputation of extremely honest professional. You also see honest bureaucrats occupying the top positions in the central and state levels.  You can make it really big by being honest provided you develop competency and professionalism.

Have you ever suffered the consequences of being brutally honest?

I have to shamefully admit, I was one of the most horrible, incorrigible people who had told a friend in depression to ‘try to forget about it’.I didnt realize that depression was also a serious mental illness, as with so many others, and considered it as a phase or mood swing.She was no doubt rightfully mad and seriously hurt, and after I apologized, we stopped talking to each other. I thought I would have lost my best friend for good but she called and as time passed, we were back to normal.I read somewhere that being brutally honest is just a mean way to hurt other people whilst hiding behind the excuse of ‘honesty’ when all you’re being is an asshole. Oftentimes, it’s unnecessary and offensive.Be prepared to lose people from your life with ‘brutal honesty’. Sometimes, you may think it’s necessary, but it may not be what the other person finds helpful at all.

Could you trust an honest liar?

Papaver,
(My favorite plant, by the way) Trust, is the most rare and precious commodity on earth, next to true love. Actually, it is the foundation of love. When a person reveals to you that you cannot depend on them to be honest with you, walk away, and don't turn around. Why burden yourself with someone who cares so little for the well being of others?

If you had a choice between being honest and loyal....what would you rather be?

In some situations if you choose to be honest you can hurt those close to you and if you are loyal you are dishonest making the honest person seem like the one in the wrong....so what would you do?
A friend chose to be loyal rather than honest and I can't seem to get over the fact that people can take HONESTY so lightly these days......
