[983] Of let us be honest

Let’s be honest to ourselves this once.

You can’t expect more subsidy and expect taxes not to go up.

You can’t expect the government to give you everything and not expect taxes to go up. You can’t both have your cake and eat it too. Well, George Carlin might disagree but he’s a comedian.

C’mon.

You really want to satisfy your conscience by helping the poor by using somebody else’s money.

And c’mon.

You are more interested in jealousy rather than wealth inequality.

Let’s be honest.

You can’t expect others to grant you justice when you commit injustice to others.

You can’t expect to conserve your liberty if you would violate others’ liberty, every single chance you had.

Honestly, freedom is a two-way street.

You can’t expect a person to respect you when you disrespect others. Respect is reciprocal.

You really can’t expect people to trust you when you lied to them. Trust is reciprocal.

Let’s be honest. Let’s be true to ourselves this once.

You can’t prove that a supreme being exists. Or do not exist for that matter. You may believe or disbelieve in but but knowing and believing are two very different verbs. For all we know, theists and atheists are fighting over something that both of them can’t prove.

What does honesty mean to you?

How is it that your religion claims to monopolize everything that is good in this world but seems to produces only hate?

Let’s be honest. Goodness is larger than religion.

Be honest.

Could you advocate racism but in the same breathe, talk of unity across communal groups? How honest could you answer that question?

Be honest.

Do you call a person as racists but unwittingly realize that you’re a racist too?

Be frank.

Do you sway freely with populism or do you stand firm with your priciples? Have a backbone for once. Please.

Be true to yourself. In your little heart, answer this.

Do you really think you could consume everything today and still expect there’s something left for tomorrow?

And let be honest this one time.

As far as this entry is concerned, honesty is a cliché.
