how to be smart Posted by poolboyjames on October 19, 2010 at 11:46 PM comments (0)i have a personal belief i'd like to share right now
that personal belief is this: honesty is a form of intelligence honesty is more valuable than anything that can be learned in a college curriculum honesty and truth are related truth being general indisputable fact honesty being personal fact truth and honesty are both complete in their very nature because any departure or withholding of information creates a lie (aka a half truth is a lie) people should become more honest with time however the opposite happens more often than not it is a major depravity to lie to oneself an honest person is more intelligent and/or wise than a liar because an honest person walks with foresight.. with an honest person, because that person knows they may have to give an account for themselves, their actions are weighed before they are executed and after their actions (which are generally of higher integrity than a liar's) are executed, the honest person gives an accurate account of their self, leaving room for improvement for next time (by leaving out delusions of grandeur and perfection) and also enjoying the current fruits of their honest actions if you saw a person steal something and put it in their pocket and you confronted them about it and they said they didn't steal it.. you first lose trust, then u are highly likely to deem that person to be "stupid" an "idiot" or any other name that describes a person of diminished mental capacity thus lying is a form of stupidity you can lie to yourself and say you're not an alcoholic when you clearly are heavily dependent on the bottle as long as you lie, you remain in a cycle that is not healthy once you acknowledge the truth of your situation, you can begin to make better decisions for yourself this indicates that honesty is conducive to a healthier lifestyle than a life lived with the aid of dishonesty, deception, and lies for another example take a business that scams people with deceptive practices vs. a business that is built on honesty and integrity in 10 yrs.. which business will still be standing? which business owner would u say is the smarter one? honesty is a highly underrated form of intelligence. even when taking morals out of the equation.. the fact remains that if you exercise lies, then you exercise your own ignorance and stupidity to lie is to run from the truth, to run from the truth is to neglect proper preparation they don't teach about this sort of intelligence in college, but it is much more important than algebraic equations i'll tell u that much so to my intelligent readers.. let's walk in truth and honesty! let's go!!
