Honestly Adopt Honesty

Being honest is such a balancing act,

It's like juggling by keeping all intact.

Because of the consequences in store,

The honest roads are tough to explore.

Honesty- Lao Tzu quote- A To Z Quotes

Honestly Yours

I called a spade a spade,

Shared what's on my mind;

They fought with me instead-

Asked me to be soft & kind!

Trust The Trustworthy and Hone The Honesty

 Trust is a very serious term. It signifies much more than love. 

It is reliance and faith and assurance for support. Trust is the foundation.

Once trust is lost, there is no support and foundation and a relationship falls flat.

Trust is linked with honesty. Honest people are trustworthy.

A Sanskrit shloka I had read in high school comes to my mind. One of the lines was-

"One who trusts the untrustworthy is the most foolish or low-grade person." 

Personally, I have been a foolish person many times as I have trusted the untrustworthy and have been taken for a ride.

Trust can only be expected from trustworthy people.

But, who are trustworthy? How do we make the right selection? 

Who are responsible and can be relied upon?

The Hero

They attacked him as he always pioneered changes and supported honesty and integrity.

When he made an important discovery that involved the top politicians, bureaucrats, and industrialists, they were desperate to hush him for life.

Silence, Darkness And Light

Dropping her line into Fool's Lake, she patiently waited for something to bite.
Her patience was tested as there was just no catch; it didn't seem right...

Photo Prompt: Mondays Finish The Story

It was night & she would have to return empty-handed to the palace,
What would she answer the Queen? Not accomplishing task is a disgrace...

She had to fulfill all the tasks successfully to be considered for marriage.
It was all her fault for falling in love with the prince & the challenge.

The prince would marry the one, who completed all the tasks before dawn.
The silence was deafening & the darkness overpowering as she was a pawn...
