Two Half-Truths Do Not Equal A Whole

Honesty seems to be a thing of the past any more. I have found that most people will do or say to get whatever they want and as long as that goal is accomplished then everything is alright. Unfortunately, I have been guilty of it myself more times than I care to remember. I have also been a "victim" of that philosophy too many times to remember as well. I don't know who said "with age comes wisdom" but that is not always the case either. Two half truths do not equal the whole truth and telling the whole truth after the fact does not equal the truth, either. If you know are about to do something it is better to be up front about it and let the chips fall where they may rather than tell the truth after the fact and hope the other person will not get mad about it. I guess the thought process behind that is, it is over and done with, I got to do what I wanted to do, andif the other person gets mad, I can weather that storm as long as I got to do what I wanted to do. If that continuously happens, that relationship will not last long.
