Honesty (Hover)
This is so wrong! Honesty should still be a practice for everyone, and there should be no benefits from backstabbing. Unfortunately, this is not the case in most situations.
I do not agree with such statement at all, although is real in the world we live. There are very few people who think honesty is a great attribute and for some reason, a lot of individuals are afraid to express how they think or feel and rather the gossiping and the backbiting. A very coward attitude.
There is some degree of truth in both aspects of what has been placed forward. I believe that people place value on things that are for the most part, subjective and therein lies the essence of the debate. However, I believe that as strange as it may sound, honesty comes with a price.

I agree that honesty comes with a price, which is why there is so little of it. The price is often a loss of money or the good will of others who have believed something which isn't true. The key is in which is more important to us, our own integrity or our own personal gain?
Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves. -- Walter Anderson
I am in a job where honesty is paramount. IF you have a dishonest person in my job you are looking for a serious breech of security. I try to be honest with myself and work hard to be totally honest with everyone I meet. I know there are cases where a little dishonesty is the key. I would have to say that there is a lot of back stabbing in this world we live in. Seems the back stabbers are the ones who are moving up that corporate ladder. I am happy here at the bottom. MY integrity is more important to me than a pay check.

Note to self: Don't take my $32,000 in cash into a restaurant. Unless it's Applebee's. A worker at an Applebee's in Fresno found $32,000 Wednesday and turned it over to Fresno police, who gave it back to the family who'd left it behind after verifying it belonged to them. Ref. Source 6j
