   Of course it is. It should be the only policy!

   Honesty is a relative concept. It tends to depend on who you are dealing with and the level of respect that you have for the person.
   
   In the film "The Wild Bunch" Ernest Borgnine and William Holden are arguing over a past associate who has teamed up with the railroad company to track them down. Borgnine is revolted by the actions of the man while Holden counters "He gave his word to the railroad". Borgnine scoffs and replies "its not your word that counts, but who you give it to!"

   Like all policies honesty as a word is something that while the individual is expected to be honest people in general cannot stand honesty in every circumstance and if you get around someone who is "too honest" even if he doesn't do so hypocritically  you will find him constantly giving offense.  People don't mind those who when addressed in public for some matter of honor are willing to give forthright information but if emotions get in the way people would rather only hear what they want to hear and they will ask you for the truth when they are good and ready to thank you very much!
