tiie virtue of dishonesty a chinese philosopher once said how can i be true to myself or to others when i have a thousand faces everyday to which should i be true today we are preoccupied with the individual everyone wants to do his own thing its out to conform or accept and its in lobe in a constant state of active rebellion and mental confusion we argue its all in the search for the true identity above all we shun hypocrisy and strive for honesty and sincerity yet in reality we are all basically dishonest with ourselves and othert sociologists call it the role the world is a stage and in any one day we play many different roles for our own advantage lets face it none of us is a straight line case were different on different occasions with different people were willing to bend our ideals change our convictions curb our impulses and try to give the impression we are what we are not in order to shine luminously in the mobs favor to come out and state this is the true blue me is loo risky were afraid we may not be accepted oh the humiliation of being branded a square in a swingers crowd or a weirdo amid conventional thinkers to be completely honest is not to be influenced in anjfwoy by ihe things or people around ut and this is impossible in short it would seem that the only way to be honest with ourselves it to admit that we are continually dishonest its not as bad as it sounds we have different names for it the fellow who pretends to be brave while his knees are clapping time is labelled cool the student who refrains from laughing at his teacher who just got a haircut three inches above the cars is prudent the hostess who insists that the smashed crystal was old anyway is diplomatic the girl who vows she wouldnt have gone to the formal even if he had asked has principles why risk losing a friend by stating outright he has halitosis or make life miserable by admitting you hate your mothers cooking the person who honestly says hes proud of himself could t labelled a brag the guy who always says exactly what he feels may find himself termed rude crude bold brash cruel cold and impossible to cope with perhaps there is virtue in dishonesty allcanadian
