By definition hopeful honesty is a feeling and desire for people to be free of deceit and untruthfulness. So why was I given this notecard? I’m not the most honest person. Maybe I expect the truth from other people and I know I’m not going to get it. It’s hard to trust people. I want to. I want to expect the best from everyone but it’s hard when honesty isn’t as important to them. I have found it’s not hard to be honest. Sure sometimes it’s better to be a little less blunt to save someone’s feelings, but in the end it’s always better to have people trust you than to have them like you because you tell them what they want to hear.
