Honesty is in fact the best policy. The reason for this being is that being honest is the best way to go. If you lie you will be hurting other people. Even if you lie to yourself, you will essentially just be hurting yourself and doing no real good. Honesty is choosing the right, and by being honest you can never go wrong as it is the right thing to do. By telling the truth you will not get caught up in lies and you will not have to remember things. Even if it means hurting another person, it always best to be honest as the other person will appreciate what you said. By just lying it make yourself better, you are not helping yourself or the other person. Being honest always makes you feel good as you are not holding back the truth. Being honest fills you with integrity. Be choosing to be dishonest, you are only hurting yourself and you will make yourself feel worse.

 An example of this would be if a person is doing a project and they ask if it looks nice. In reality the project is ugly, but you decide to be honest and tell them so. Here, although the person is hurt, they will appreciate the honesty and will fix their project thus leading them to have a good grade.
