For me honesty and truthfulness is same. Honesty is of the good qualities. An honest behavior means a behavior which is free from cheat and deceit. Honesty is based on truthfulness. It is free from all kind of evil motive. Honesty is a virtue. If all people become honest, then our society will be an ideal society. Truthfulness is a virtue. It is very easy and often very difficult to be truthful. Truthfulness mean s speaking truth. Dishonesty will usually lead to lying. It is all depends of each other.

Honesty is the human quality of communicating and acting truthful and with fairness ,as best one is able. It is related. To truth as a value.This includes listening , reasoning and any action in the human repertoire as well as speaking .people have different opinion about truthfulness and honesty .some say one should always be honest and truthful ,but others believe that it can be okay to not tell the truth,or to be a bit dishonest in certain situations.

Honesty means you say what you sincerely believe to be true. For example what you believe to be true in a manner not intended to deceive. You can honestly state something that is untrue, Truth is about objective fact. Something is either true or not. You can state the truth in a dishonest manner, like if you yourself believe it to be true. A persona can be honestly wrong, believing something that is not the truth. I feel that I am an honest person, I tell the truth, and do not cheat and I try to be the best person that I can be. I thought about this for a while and found that people are dishonest because of the following reasons, Confused for things. When I have been dishonest with someone because you yourself have been lied to by someone else and know how awful it makes you feel. And from that experience, you are able to goodwill with the person you've lied to and know how bad they will feel if they find out you lied to them.

For me the difference between honesty and truthfulness is: honesty means that a person acts fairly as well such as not stealing, lying or cheating. Truthfulness means that person always telling the truth, when asked. Dishonesty and lying is the opposite of honesty and truthfulness. The difference is that a person is telling false account of what happened for their benefit, or saying a complement when they don’t really mean it. Dishonesty is a person always is stealing, lying and cheating to other. I am honesty when in the store the clerk accidentally give me too much money back or the price of merchandise is wrong. When I was teen I was dishonesty with my boss, instead going to work I called her and telling I am sick. When I was dishonesty with someone, I don’t fell well I fell remorse. Every day I try to be honest with my children, responding their questions only whit the truth.

Yes, there is a difference in honesty and truthfulness because if you want to be honest about how you feel, you can but truthfulness will always be the truth. There is also a difference between lying and dishonesty because of the same reason above. If you want to lie you can but dishonesty will always not be true. I have been honest the majority of the time in any situation because I would like for people to also be honest with me. I have been dishonest when I want to get out of work because I need a day off and I feel that they wouldn't think my reason to be a valuable one to miss work. I always appreciate people being honest with me but especially when I lose something such as my wallet or cell phone. My children have been dishonest with me when they brake something and they don't want to admit it. I feel awful when I have been dishonest with someone. I feel disappointed with the person who has lied to me. I have been dishonest with my boss when I call in my work.

I think there are two differences between truthfulness and honesty. The first difference is that a person can be honest but sometimes he or she can lie. The truthful person is a person who always tell truth. The second difference is that a honestly doesn't mean telling truth. A honest person can change the truth. But the truthful person always in any situation tell the truth.

Honesty and truthfulness are two different words but same significant. I think there is no difference in people that are dishonest and lying. They are both the same. We cant trust a person that is dishonest and lying. I think the world will be a better place if everybody practiced it. The people have these qualities than we can trust these people. People that lie nobody can trust them. I try to be honest all the time because it is a good quality. Yes I would like and appreciate the people because they are sincere and honest with me. I feel horrible especially if those people are supposed to be my friend. I feel bad too because I don't know what people think about me. I feel bad when I am dishonest with the people because those people trust in me and I failed them.

For me, honesty is when you are fair. Truthfulness is when you say the truth, and you wouldn’t lie. The opposite of honesty and truthfulness, is dishonesty and lying. The difference between these two is that dishonest is when you don’t treat someone in a fair way. However, lying is when you say something that is not true, unless you say that you are joking. In some ways, these two words are similar. They both have something to do with negative things. I am honest all time. Whenever I need to be dishonest, I am still fair. Since I am honest, I think that everyone should be. I would appreciate people being honest to me all the time. I’ve heard people say that whatever you do or say, that is what comes back to you. Any person on Earth feels bad whenever someone is dishonest with them. I feel the same way. I have been honest with everyone. I think that everyone should be treated in a fair way.
