Austin beat me to it, and said it much more eloquently than I possibly could.
Still, I want to add my voice in.
Honesty to me is not 'being honest' by telling 'the truth' whether it be in a kindly fashion or a blunt one. Honesty to me is an attempt to form a coherent and harmonious connection, a foundation for unity to function upon. It could be considered Diplomacy of Other Self by Diplomacy of Self, by becoming in a way connected in honesty of who and how and why you are, you can approach another with the same fashion of energy and in a sense, cut through the dishonesty without cutting it at all.
Imagine when you spoke to someone, you sent ripples over them. In blunt honesty, you are hammering those ripples against them. In scathing honesty you are cutting them with those ripples. The key to 'honest' communication is speaking in such a way that your ripples you evoke from yourself and over others don't disrupt you or the other in a way as to be harmful or separating. If those ripples form a connection rather than a disruption, you've been as honest as you could be.
Speak love, not war.
Type love, not war.
Love being an attempt to discuss and be equals, war being an attempt to debate and be victorious over another.
Do you speak to yourself as an equal to the Creator?
