Honesty in relationships is complicated. To what extent are we expected to be honest with a stranger? a friend? a family member? The way we might greet someone in the street, or in a store, or in the mall, may be different than we would greet, say, a boss or a loved one. Do these behaviors define us? Do we behave this way out of fear? Is it okay to put someone else in a unsafe situation to secure our own safety? Is there a better way to define relationship? What is it? Does the commitment made within the relationship change that? Does dishonesty create insecurity within a relationship? Should I end this type of relationship? How can we create safety for ourselves without taking away the safety of another?? How honest should we be with a co-worker, a stranger, a neighbor, an ill-family member, a loved one or a long lost friend? How do I guard myself without loosing myself or my friend? Help
