May 1st was National Honesty Day, the day where a
person may ask another person any question they like and that person has to
provide a truthful and straightforward answer. Now, I am not sure about you,
but this sounds dangerous to me. Picture
it now … “Do these pants make my ass look fat?” You politely, automatically say
no, but it’s National Honesty Day and you’re thinking, “The pants have nothing
to do with it. Your ass was working alone on this one.” Now, if you say that,
being honest, it is likely that you are going to lose a friend or fat ass is
going to punch you … hard.
I think little white lies were invented for a really good
reason … to save people’s feelings and prevent total chaos in the world. If
everyone were completely honest, all of the time, I think friendships would
end, relationships would suffer, businesses would fold and the world would
probably implode.
