Honesty
I will not lie to you, about anything, because I feel that lying is disrespectful and I do not make it a habit to disrespect anyone. I will say what I feel in the nicest, least confrontational way possible. But I am not going to lie about what I think or feel because I feel you deserve to know the truth; that you are mature enough to handle the information you have asked for.
This is one of the few things I will not compromise on. I demand the same level of respect in return when it comes to honesty, and if it is not returned then the dynamic no longer exists.
It does not matter if you think it is something I do not want to hear, or if you think omitting / twisting the truth is the ‘kinder’ option. If you lie to me you have basically taken napalm and torched whatever bridge was there. I will no longer trust you, and without trust the dynamic dies.
Honor
I try to conduct myself in such a way that I bring respect to myself and those associated with me. Everyday I ask myself if my actions are portraying the qualities of a person I can be proud of, that I would want to be associated with. Some days are better than others, but overall I like to think that, yes. I can be proud of myself and my actions.
This is something else I do not bend on. I know everyone has different morals, values, and priorities. However there is a base level of decency, of honor, that I feel is humane and mature. If I feel that you have a dishonorable personality then I will distance myself from you because I do not wish to be associated with dishonorable actions and mentalities.
