Today, when I pulled my words for the day, I was surprised to see the words “honesty” and “clarity”. I have been in a place where I am getting clarity on my life. Clarity means to have clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity. It also means the state or quality of being clear or transparent to the eye as in “the clarity of pure water”.
However, the honesty part is harder to come by. It seems that everyone tells small lies. We are raised that way. Think of all the things that you were told as a child about Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the horrible things that might happen to you if you did not do as you were told. All the things we heard from parents and teachers was mostly a lie. And, they had been raised that way.
When we read something in a book or in a paper or on the internet, or when we hear things on the TV or radio, we are hearing mostly lies. Honesty use to mean the quality or fact of being honest or upright or fair. You could count on the people that you trusted to be truthful or sincere, or frank. We all want that freedom from deceit or fraud.
The word honesty made me think of our friend who lost his house because the mortgage company did not accept his mortgage payments. They returned them unopened. You see, there was bailout money available to the company if they had a certain percentage of mortgages default. The company made more money on the bailout then what the mortgages were worth. The environment was set up for them to be not honest for their mortgagees, and yet to be honest to their shareholders, and to bring in a certain quota of money.
Isn’t it ironic that we can be dishonest and honest at the same time? It all depends on the point of view.
