honesty, always

obviously lying is how people get into positions of power.

Lying and blaming others is trademark Ceo and politician traits.

As is said, honesty is the best policy. However, honesty, too much of it, can be detrimental to you.

Let me tell you, from experience, I've been too honest at times, and it has 100% been used against me for the worst.

Honesty is a master variable in life.

In all honesty, the answer is lies.

Depends on the situation you're in

Fun Fact: just because no lies were spoken doesn't mean that it's the truth

Honesty with loved ones. Mindful honesty with the rest of the world.
Brutal honesty in rare circumstances when someone is being difficult to deal with.

Lies make the world go around.

Depends on the recipient.

or both? or situational? tell me!

It's situational. But you should usually be honest, even so.

The Wichita Kansas Call of Duty SWAT incident would have probably never occurred and probably not resulted in someone dying if the person who was the intended target had said
"none of your business" to the person who was targeting them instead of providing a false address. Although, I can't blame him for feeling like providing a false address instead of no address was probably the safer option for his self and his family at the time.

If someone is intent on killing someone you love and asks you which way to get to them, are you really going to tell them "none of your business" and leave it up to chance as they pick one hallway or the other, or are you going to mislead them knowing that if they believe you, they're guaranteed to waste time going in the wrong direction, thus buying your loved one some more time?

When someone asks you for something they shouldn't have, that would be used to harm you or others ...don't tell them. ...or in some situations, it may be even better to intentionally mislead them - that's just the reality of war-like situations.

As much as I wanted to lead an enemy-free life, the world showed me that no matter how much you try to stay on good terms with everyone and have no enemies, someone will declare you theirs and act on it eventually.
Honesty isn't for enemies.

It takes more than being a bully to be an enemy, but once someone crosses that line, I'm not stupid enough to think that cooperation and peace is possible with them anymore.
We must strive to live in cooperative societies but we must also recognize that some people are so determined to maintain their antisocial bubbles around them that it's foolish not to engage them with their own rules.

It doesn't have to be a kill or be killed world but if we are to survive, we must acknowledge that sometimes some people turn it into one while interacting with them specifically; --
If we do not accept this fact ...then we are not being honest ...to ourselves.

honesty with people you care about, lying with people you don't care about uwu
