Honesty is one of my core values. One of my challenges is that I generally assume others are also being honest. It’s nice to be trusting and hopefully it won’t lead me too far astray. As the saying goes – “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” In any case, honesty is better than choosing the way of the liar, when you can’t trust anyone.
The liar’s punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
― George Bernard Shaw
Do you assume others behave the same way you do?
