In a world where corruption is all around does it pay to be honest?

Is honesty the best policy?
Remember our mother always saying it always pays to be honest.

Your invited over for dinner and there having pot roast." yummy "
but the cook didn't do such a great job of it.
but you continue to get through it anyway, not wanting to hurt her feelings. thank god there was the family dog near the table.

The cook mentions oh you must of loved the roast would you like some more?
To your reply I'm pretty full, thank you anyway.

Now if we were honest, we would of been truthful and just said your dinner was disgusting!

Now the people were very nice only there cooking was terrible.

Two weeks later you break a leg in an accident. Your laid up for a while. You pretty much cannot get around. Your friend that had you over for dinner a while back, brings you over a plate of dinner. Guess what it's her famous pot roast!

So we ask ourselves is honesty the best policy?

Now we want to be honest and in our hearts, we want to trust people and confide in them about personal affairs in our lives. Do we dare?

I have a close friend of mine we will call her Davina.
Davina decided to take a job 300 miles away from her family adventually relocating when the establishment got on its feet.

She was sacrificing quite a bit to get ahead she knew she didn't want to be away from her family for long periods of time and they really needed the money in these hard times.
At night when the store was closed she blew up her air mattress and pluged in her heating blanket and prepared for the cold night.
Davina wanted to save every dollar she had so she decided to go this rout enstead of paying for motels. So she decided to sleep in the store. Which was alright with her employer.

So not only did they have a supervisor they now had store security.
Davina would go the extra mile and work extra hours into the night and also extra early hours also.

So after working about a month she noticed things turning for the worse.
Her employer really started changing his aditude towards her.

Well to make the long story short, Davina ended up quitting tired of the abuse. Not to mention her employer and Davina made an oral agreement that her pay was to be paid under the table. Davina confided in her employer personal information that might incriminate her and her family. Her employer had plenty to hide also especially when he didn't want to declare his taxes.

So really is it better to be honest ? in this case maybe not.

When it all comes down to reality in the real world, "honesty is not always the best policy"

You cannot trust anyone or can you?
