Lichtenberg, German scientist ( 1742 to 1799)
To me honesty must always be pure and must be always only ever one hundred percent given and given only ever fully as itself to remain itself, total honesty. The way that it is given can be loving or unloving, but to me total honesty can never be unloving, because when it is being unloving to me anyway it then moves slightly away from being total honesty. Total honesty to me is always totally loving as well. A big call, but honesty to me is important enough to require this much of itself to be able to achieve the meaning of its true name I feel.
Can truth and honesty have a start and an end? No, of course not. To have a beginning and an ending I think would take something away from honesty. Honesty like love is only ever itself. It has no start or end, but honesty is always itself in the now of itself.
Greatness then is not arrived at from being only half honest. Greatness is total honesty combined with total loving. Love is not just a truthful occurrence of honesty, but honesty is a truthful occurrence of loving. Love is all things at all times. Truth is part of honesty and honesty a part of truth. Love however is always more broadly all encompassing. We can love and be still not aware enough to live our own truth totally honestly as yet.
Love always forgives, and lives in you today, yesterday and tomorrow. Love is always trying to be as honest as it can be with the awareness level of love that you currently possess. Love gains wisdom from experiences of itself. Love learns through everything including initially your dishonesty. Love however bows to no one else except to allow its truth to arise from the untruth that you currently envisage as your truth. Your untruth and dishonesty are still being accompanied by love. You are just not aware enough to apply the love totally honestly as yet.
Love enough to be honest and be honest enough to love. Honesty grows with your experiences of love, and love grows wiser in you to honestly give itself more honestly as you try to be more loving in your honesty.
The two are connected intimately and when you try to be more honest you will learn more about being more loving. When you strive to be more loving you will be more honest as a result as well.
Allow truth to always guide you honestly and be honestly guided by your truth. Be honest in yourself. Allow love to honestly reveal in you to you what is really necessary and separate out from you that which is only really just being ego
