Like direct and indirect communication, there’s an honest and dishonest communication. To be honest is a bold choice that has its own costs.

To be ready to be honest is to be ready to accept the cost and pay the price for your honesty.

Every speech that starts with “honestly” draws everyone’s attention. People are always afraid of what an honest opinion or comment could be. Why?

People are programmed to be dishonest. People are programmed not to love the truth hence not accept it easily. This means that in many situations and settings such as work or family gatherings, people would trade their honesty for peace and safety. “Maybe I'll lose the job if I say my honest opinion.”

Peace and safety

Many people never choose honesty when facing the world because they fear for their peace and safety. Being honest can cost you the loss of friendships, jobs, clients, and so on. For peace and safety, people will continue faking their points of view all of their lives just so that they are not hated by others, just so that they are accepted and validated by society. People care more about things than the truth of things.

What if honesty is your peace and safety?
