Honesty

"We must not let our passions destroy our dreams."
-King Arthur

For those who know the story, the statement has some irony to it. Later on the king would betray the very person who was the most loyal to him. He told himself that know one would ever know, no one would ever find out. But, as with many secrets, someone always knows and someone always finds out.

Honesty is such a strange creature. It makes everything so easy, if we would just exercise it. When we chose not to be honest, it opens the door for betrayal. Betrayal that hurts. Betrayal that should never exist. Betrayal that can destroy something so beautiful.

How honest are we with ourselves? How honest are we with the ones we love? Maybe we are content with what we don't know.

I work hard to be honest with those around me and I would hope that they do the same in return. More importantly, it is imperative to be honest with yourself.
