I like documentaries because there's nothing to nitpick or criticize about scenes if they aren't just right. It's about honesty and real-life circumstances coming out. Granted it can be swayed by how people tell that story, but overall, I like it because it is true.
Honesty has come to mean the privilege of insulting you to your face without expecting redress.
All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.

Honesty is a good thing, but it is not profitable to its possessor unless it is kept under control.
My friendships and relationships in the conservative world are not predicated on political correctness and enforced conformity of thought. They are based, instead, on mutual respect, honesty and understanding - concepts many modern liberals should consider revisiting.
And so it's inescapable and people who proclaim scrupulous honesty can only proclaim that if they don't examine closely the things they believe.
Honesty is the quality I value most in a friend. Not bluntness, but honesty with compassion.
I've done more harm by the falseness of trying to please than by the honesty of trying to hurt.
