Honesty.
They say honesty is the best policy. Is there really such a thing as honesty in practice?

So honesty is truthfulness, sincerity or frankness. Now, all of this points to honesty in being truthful to.... the heart/the mind/the thought... the list goes on. Being honest about facts - cold, hard, tangible, measurable facts, now why don't people just say 'hey! be truthful!'. So it is the emotions that layers over the facts, like some sort of a filter to raw data.

So examine the process a little. We can be honest to ourselves since we definitely know what we feel and think about. The problem arises once you start making a consideration for others. Other people's expectations of you as a person, your values.

Speaking partial truth does not equate the truth. So that is, being honest halfway-through. It's just like sticking your feet out but not touching the ground. You are NOT actually stepping.

The reason why people make disclaimers to mellow off their messages with things like 'haha'.. 'hehe'.. '=P'... perhaps, they are already not being very honest about their feelings that came initially with the message they wrote.

Fuzzy Corner
So assume honesty is the fundamental layer of a person’s self-awareness, the next layer would be the (1) personal filtering of the mind-> the rational would re-analyse the raw emotions, and decide what best to do ; or not -> the blunt, those who blurt out word for word what they feel. (2) Morales, values?? (3) Expectation of other’s on oneself. Would they think of me as so-and-so if I decided to do this.. am I letting them down?

* Note: Still "work in progress" - I don't know where I am trying to get to with this. The amazing thing is, some people know exactly what they want and what they would do. From observation of others? I wonder if their heads are see-through greenhouses.

The Office
The busy get busier. As we ride on that ‘energy’, we just keep propelling ourselves upwards. I have this tendency to pack as many events as I can into my schedule when I’m busy. Either it is a sign that I want to run away from what I am working on, or that the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction has become self-generative and have given me greater confidence and desire to take on more.

however...

the lazy gets lazier... Even with a long 'toilet-roll' list of things to do, I just chuck it aside, rationalising to myself that I deserve that time to slow down and smell the roses. =S
