If I ask ‘do you love honesty and truth,’ your answer will be ‘of cause.’ If you ask me, my answer will be the same, just like you do. Actually, we all love ‘truth’ and ‘honesty.’ However, our human beings have something that we all are really doing beyond those natural standards, which is between ‘honesty’ and ‘dishonesty,’ between ‘true’ and ‘fake.’
I would like to show you a few examples about it as below.
LESSON I.
According to dictionary, ‘euphemism’ means – a polite word or expression that you use instead of a more direct one, in order to avoid shocking or upsetting. In other words, it is substitution of a pleasant expression for an unpleasant or offensive one.
I have questions about our usage of euphemism and a few other more. Please feel free to answer these questions and it is just for fun by yourself:
(1) Do you feel “euphemism” is honesty?
(2) Who are mostly using euphemism; children or adults? Uneducated people or educated people? According to the result, what does that mean?
(3) How many times did you say already; “I love it! That’s wonderful!” for things you don’t really like and actually, you feel it is not that good?
(4) Does “politeness” create “dishonesty” in your heart?
(5) If you speak as you really wish or you exactly feel on everything in your daily life, what do you think how will it be in our society? Will it work?
LESSON II.
We all have experience about losing our friends, family members, and beloved ones in our lives. I am also sure that you have seen people with broken hearts because of parting from his or her love.
How many times did you feel that you were very sad for those real people and events around you?
How many times did you cry?
Are they ‘real’ or ‘fake’?
Alright. Let us turn another page.
You have watched movies, actions, humors, dramas, etc, right?
When you watched dynamic, dramatic, artful and powerful movies, such as for the climax of Titanic with Celine Dion’s ‘My heart will go on,’ how did you feel and what was your reaction?
Were you very sad?
Did you cry?
Are they ‘real’ or ‘fake’?
So, where is your role for likeness of between ‘Honesty’ and ‘Dishonesty,’ ‘Real’ and ‘Fake’?
The final question is – Do humans really really love the ‘Truth’ and ‘Honesty’?
Have Fun!

The truth is often ugly to behold. The truth of war, racism, violence, and other forms of cruelty that humans do to others.
I life we must deal with the truth, so in the end it may be a "terrible beauty". Lies are the vehicles that people use to oppress others and themselves. It is true that the truth may hurt. For instance, if my wife says," do this garment make me look fat? The truth may be yes. It is not a flattering thing for you to wear. Even though this may sting for a while, the feedback is what she needed to make a better choice.
We need to help each other, lovingly, to do reality checks, to know the truth. A teacher once said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Freedom often comes with some pain, but to be free is to be more fully human.
People in government and other places of authority that feed us lies don't just oppress us with misinformation, but attempt to deny us our dignity and humanity.
