You often hear people say this. The claim that honesty is the best policy. But when I look around, I see so much dishonesty. Even people that say this often act in dishonest ways most of the time. Fraud and scam is on the increase and when you loose your valuables, they are gone. Insecurity abounds and people are even afraid to trust their spouses. All these and more are related to dishonesty in one way or the other. So o want to ask:

Is honesty still the best policy today?

Sort:  

Its still the best policy but has been neglected by many

For us to succeed we must learn hownto be spealing the truth from the heart

@onyeoga yea, but the world we are seems not to accept the truth and most times, the truthful tends to suffer most but that should deprive us from been truthful and honest for the reward pays well

It is but be prepared that the world will be against you

@chiama yea, thats understandable but thats the reason honesty needs to be maintained , it might not go well at the initial but will definitely pay

It depends on the situation you are in.

@codingdefined hahahaha i believe honesty shouldnt be traded for anything , no matter the situation
