Honesty is a quality that is rare. I am not talking about people using obvious lies. I am talking about humanity's temptation to wear a mask. People desire to impress others so they present themselves in an acceptable light. They manipulate their closest friends or even soul mates just to escape embarrassment or feeling uncomfortable. I have had a few experiences with facades. Where does this lead? I will tell you. Nowhere. Eventually the truth of their character will win out. I would rather they show their ugly side. I would rather have a realistic version of the person. If I know about your flaws I can be more honest with my flaws.
Prov 26:24-26
He who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up deceit in his heart.
When he speaks graciously, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
Though his hatred covers itself with guile,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
