A relative world

Growing up, I leaned that honesty was the best policy.  But, that value is only relative to what people want others to think of themselves.  "Honesty will get you nowhere" seems to be the active rule of the day.  It is the one people really live by.  If I have nothing someone wants, I am treated a little deceitfully until the person wants something, then I get a little honesty out of him/her.


I'm not saying it's the best way to be.  I'm just reporting what I see most of the time  Nearly every value is relative to the person's desire in a situation.  Yes, it's a relative world... relative values, relative truth.
