…well, Open Source is also about honesty 8)

Aaaaah … so sad, but so true … but I think one doesn’t have to “follow the crowd” and be dishonest (if one truly desires to be honest). I’m not saying honesty is easy (and for sure, no one is perfect), but it’s an option that’s available to anyone who wants to choose it.

I’ll take the “red pill” of honesty any day! 8P

I’m afraid that honesty never really works. Many things go through our minds, so one has to be really open to accept honesty.
It may hurt a little, but I think it’s well worth. However, most people like to be ignorant but happy. “ignorance is bliss” to quote The Matrix 8)

“Feelings of love are just a temporary lapse in judgement. Like a kind of mental illness.”

About this..

“I basically have to admit being sole responsible of something and ask forgiveness as I whip my back in pain.

I think that I’m a very honest person but that’s not enough. Actually it’s not a good thing. To have a good relationship, I’m told, one is supposed to tell lies !”

I’ve been in those situations before, trying not to argue or defend my point anymore even if I’m 100% right and innocent, just retreat back and accept whatever she’s saying and next time just lie so it doesn’t happen again; but there’s a limit and I thought that was enough.. not sane at all. I think it’s really up to who you are with, so I keep my hopes up that someday I can just be honest with someone and it will work out naturally!

Hmm … So if lies are told in the relationship, how do people build trust? Or is that not necessary any more? 8P
