Honest/Real

For the longest time, I've been really thinking about this subject. I've talk to some friends of mine and thought about my life mostly. This subject is something that has been in public eye for the longest, and talk about daily. Honesty and being real. Both words are different from one another but have the same meaning. The definition of honest is honorable in principles, intentions and actions. Real definition is true; not merely ostensible, nominal, or apparent.

It has always been intentions throughout my life to honest with people and with myself. I found honesty is the best quality to have but sometimes conflicted. Certain situations with people seem to have to bend the truth. Classic example, "Honey, does this make look fat?" To be honest, "yes it does". To not hurt the woman's feelings, "no baby, you look great." With honesty, there's a respect factor. The truth can hurt people feelings sometimes; honesty starts playing with your personality. Honesty can sometimes mean to deviate the truth. How to say something without hurting people's feelings, how to re-word statements but also get the point across.

Real, has been the most conflicting topic of people's lives. "How to be real with yourself and others" a title that stays unanswered to some. A person who is real with themselves does not care about what about other people think. It is their own personal drive that they feed off. No other person can take it or change it. A real person can walk to a stranger and say, "i don't like you, you look like Jim Carrey on crack." Harsh and cruel (funny too), it was honest and straightforward. Sometimes people can be too real where they don't really care. The respect factor can tainted in all sorts of ways. "When keeping it real goes wrong" (funny chappelle's skit). But honesty plays into being real. A person couldn't be real if they weren't honest with themselves.

In conclusion, draw your own conclusion. Seriously, I have thought about this too long and hard. Sometimes I ask myself am I being totally real with other people. The respect factor plays again into my mind. Don't forgot there's also people who are "fake" or "acting like they are real". That's a whole another subject in itself. But besides that, the point of this is ask for honest/real opinions. As being one third of this blog, this is still ADD blog. We add things we like on here and the public can add comments/insights. I want your honest/real opinions about this. A subject like this can be deep or can be solid viewed. My own person conclusion is it's better to be real most the time but honest for people. You have to be real with yourself before you can be real with others. Be real with yourself then SHOW real by honesty. It all depends on what type of real you are and what honesty you show.
