I've enjoyed reading several of your essays this morning. You certainly have intrigued me to look at the subject of honesty with more interest. I would have to say I lean toward agreeing with your friend who says kindness is more important in honesty, because in many cases the subject is just not worth causing an issue. I suspect you would disagree with this, but as I said, I'm new to your essays and I want to do more reading. You certainly grabbed my attention!
