When it comes to issues of honesty talk is cheap and I wonder how many people's behaviour match their words. I tend to be a little cynical on this issue, not just because of certain experiences in the life style but in life in general. The people who have demanded the most honesty from me have ended up being the most dishonest themselves. Inflexibility is against the grain of the relative nature of the world we live in and it leads to people becoming warped and morally dishonest even if factually honest. Be careful what you demand because you might be expected to reciprocate.

Honesty--the thing we want the most and yet fear the most---S/m in its most vanilla form---<smiles>--I have always prided Myself on honesty, I give it, I get it--at work, from My family---but I never realized how hard honesty can be for someone until I met the boy---<no he isn't a secret criminal or married>--but he wanted Me to know who he is/was, how he was shaped, formed, reacts, deals, manages--to the depths of his soul--all the while fearful I will say---I can't cope with that, I don't understand that, I don't want to deal with that---I have never seen the fragility of a soul as I have with him, as he shares the meaning of him, the depth of his submission, how he was shaped, how he "works"--but I gave him the strength, the reassurance to express, to feel the freedom---and it has brought us closer, deeper, I respect him for taking the risk. Honesty, is something many take for granted, something many abuse--IMHO, it is the most elusive trait in humanity today. It takes one of great strength to survive, it takes one of greater strength to be honest. (edited for typo)

understud -> RE: Observation: Honesty (4/23/2006 6:15:19 AM)
honesty? honesty slapped me in the face as i looked at the picture i would post. the pic was brutally honest in form character and intentions, i wanted to cry it was so honest so brutally honest, dispelling any preconceived notions that i might have entertained as to just what or who i am. to me a pic, no matter how outrageous can reveal more that the one pictured ever intended. Can anyone be more honest than what is revealed in their pic. not the obvious physical display, but the nuances inadvertenly photographed and recorded. that pic; the clothing, the posture, facial expression and a hundred other little almost imperceptible clues; that, and there journal entries, or lack of them has often told me a very different story of what they are after. i still can't handle total complete honesty; but i keep trying to do so. maybe that a good sign, i still try. would you want me to be brutally honest in every aspect no matter how inappropriate or hurtful..if i'm honest with myself i don't think i could, not yet.....just a thought from a no-one, no-body; who has no business being here. But, on the other hand always respectful understud.

honestyOne entry found for honesty. Main Entry: hon·es·ty [image]http://www.m-w.com/images/audio.gif[/image] Pronunciation: 'ä-n&s-tE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -ties 1 obsolete : CHASTITY 2 a : fairness and straightforwardness of conduct b : adherence to the facts : SINCERITY 3 : any of a genus (Lunaria) of European herbs of the mustard family with toothed leaves and flat disk-shaped siliques synonyms HONESTY, HONOR, INTEGRITY, PROBITY mean uprightness of character or action. HONESTY implies a refusal to lie, steal, or deceive in any way. HONOR suggests an active or anxious regard for the standards of one's profession, calling, or position. INTEGRITY implies trustworthiness and incorruptibility to a degree that one is incapable of being false to a trust, responsibility, or pledge. PROBITY implies tried and proven honesty or integrity. Honesty, as illustrated, is straightforwardness, sticking to the facts. One can be honest without being intimate (and I don't mean in the sexual way this particular moment), but can one be intimate without being honest? Is one's most intimate thoughts and history to be available to anyone, or reserved for one with whom one is developing a relationship that is more than acquaintances?

I think it's up to each of us how much we share with others. I do hope that if one keeps things to themself, they do so without resorting to lying. I'm very curious to see what others say..... Level

How very true, that is why he is indeed in My eyes, a man of great strength in many many ways--and to kneel before Me, completely open--risking all, sends My soul soaring. I love you boy.

ownedgirlie -> RE: Observation: Honesty (4/23/2006 8:33:56 AM)
All this talk about honesty and I can't help but think of the movie, "Liar, Liar." Time and place, I think. Do I want brutal up front, in my face honesty about myself from a stranger? No, because it is meaningless to me. Would I receive such a revelation about myself from someone who is trusted and safe? Absolutely. Would I dare tell someone I barely know, a harsh (but honest, in my opinion) observation about him/herself? Not likely, but depending on circumstance. Dishonesty can also be ommision of information. Does that mean I am dishonest to my friends and family who do not know I am a slave? Well yes, but I'm okay with that. Those folks do not need to know every detail about me. It does not take from our relationship to not know I kneel before another. It is great to say oh we must always be honest to everyone, but it is not practical. The art of learning respect and manners is almost equally important. I wouldn't tell an elderly woman, "Lady...your lipstick is clear up to your nose and looks terrible!" I would instead, smile and be kind. I would, however, say that to my best friend if it were true. (although I probably wouldn't call her lady). To my Master, there is no question - everything is revealed, and I am always honest. However, in the beginning of our relationship, it didn't always feel safe to do that - he worked with me to make it so. Sometimes it is appropriate to be brutally honest; sometimes it is appropriate to bite your tongue and smile.

I would just add again that you don't have to be brutal or rude to be honest. Nor do I mean to give the impression that I've never lied to spare one's feelings, I have. But in striving to better myself and be more true to ideals I value, I work towards that total honesty thang. Level

quote: ORIGINAL: meatcleaver Be careful what you demand because you might be expected to reciprocate. Demand? I do not think that is the right word; expect, yes i expect their honesty, receive, yes i receive it. I am confused as to the "you might be expected to reciprocate" comment. I stated quite plainly i have revealed to them and they own all that i am. I did the same with regards to knowing all they are. So what am i missing here?

enthralled -> RE: Observation: Honesty (4/23/2006 11:57:11 AM)
Human nature overwhelms me at times. . . even my own. I think it's human nature to subconsciously hide those things we fear will push others away. Mistress Hathor made a very good point- " Honesty--the thing we want the most and yet fear the most"- I often say that the one thing I want is for someone to KNOW me, to truely know me, yet THAT is something I'm close to terrified of. I'm not dishonest with people, but like feastie said in her post, I'm one of those who are straightforward and keep to the facts. Sometimes people are like this for a reason, mine being that during my childhood & teens I wasn't allowed to express my emotions or feelings- it was BAD. As an adult, my experience has been that when I have opened myself up, it gets me hurt or makes people 'disappear' from my life. . . I've conditioned myself to keep those things inside, being convinced that this is now the end result of my being "honest". I know this about myself and I'm trying to change; but, it's not something that comes overnight, and perhaps it's a matter of finding that one person who won't go away. . . trust. I think that sometimes, life teaches us to simply keep our mouth shut for fear of losing something wonderful in our lives; but the irony IS, we'll never have anything special if we don't take that risk and ultimately end up loosing anyway. Just my cent . . . Respectfully, enthralled
