<bgsound src="D:\My Documents\My Music\Billy Joel - Honesty.mp3" loop="infinite"> Once, Again Honesty. It is hard to believe that I never really thought about this word. Of course, I did think about what a lie is and how to be true to others. However, I never thought of what honesty really meant until I came before the song, 'Honesty.' It was sung by Billy Joel. He sings that honesty is "such a lonely word" because "everyone is so untrue." He also claims that honesty is hardly ever heard, but is mostly what he needs from his lover. I'll have to say that I definitely agree with him. Is it necessary to tell white lies to your lover? Most of my friends say that it is, although they do admit that even white lies are lies. Well, I say that we never be dishonest to our lovers, but show who we really are, and what we really have in our mind. From what my experience tells me, lies are destined to be found out by their victims, whether they were told for good intentions are not. We are not powerful or bright enough to decide what future we may have. Then, why not always live with honesty? A sad result may come, but, at least, we all have pride left in us. Of course, human beings are not perfect, and I am one. Still, I try to be honest at every moment. However, I always find a different self in myself according to the current situation. When I'm with the guys, I am very outgoing and noisy; while, when I'm with a girl or girls, I suddenly become quiet and dispassionate. Am I being true when I'm with boys or when I'm with girls? Or am I being honest to both the boys and the girls because I'm showing my true nature of changing attitudes? I have thought about the question for a while and came up with an answer. I was being dishonest to both of them. I got a hint from thinking about lies. We try to be honest, but there always seems to be situations in which we have to tell a white lie. Likewise, I try to be open with boys, yet I feel tat I need to make up an image when I'm with girls. I finally realized that I should not make up false images as I should not tell a lie. Also, I should not only try to be open; I should actually be open, true, and honest. Then, my real, true self will show up so that everyone will know for sure that I am a person with honesty.
