To me "honest" can be assume like integrity. If we apply it at work or in study whether in government , private company, or institution of study, it most appreciate coz its help you to become a trust, responsible hardworking and many more about positive attitude. But, if we adapting in something else especially a relationship, the honest must be put to aware. The relationship is a complicated things that we must take care with you heart and physical body, so, it's true different situation with career or study.
Being honest in buddy relationship or as known "friendship" is we must not too honest for them. Why?? To me, if we too honest, its will hurt their feeling. For example you and your best friend is together in one company. Your friend was married with someone that you love very much from previous until now,so, are you want to tell your best friend sort of thing? Of course you don't right?? Let say if we tell about it, your best friend definitely must be jealous, uncomfortable, uneasy, awkward, and wonder to you, so how come we can protect our friendship?? Most that scarring situation if your best friend backstab you, and all your secrets have know by others. Ohh...so stiffing and terrible situation......
Honest also can't show clearly you are in couple. People said that when you in this way, along days look likes in paradise, i accepted these statement but this kind relationship must started with no too trustworthy. Let say if we too obvious to say something truth about our partner, they maybe misunderstanding and think w don't love and care about them anymore, but it's not what we meant it.So, to make this circumstance short, we must consider and find what the best way to admonish our partner without hurting their feeling.
As a student , are will tell everything about your problem to your parents? To me, its be considered. We must know what kind situation to tell them, if we don't do it, your problem will burden your parents. As long we can enduring it, just go on. except that you cannot find ways and need your parents guidance and advise to solving your problems. Their advise is preciously to you for make your better choice.
In a nutshell, we must know a level to being honest to everyone. In this word, there are people have kind of heart whether wick or kind. So we must aware of this situation to make your life peaceful and harmonies.
