No, I don’t think so. Honesty is important, but intelligence, helpful nature, a good
sense of humour and many other things are equally important. 
3. Do you think children should be taught honesty in young age.
Yes, they should be taught honesty at a young age. Honesty is something parents 
can teach without any extra effort. All they have to do is to lead by example. 
Children imbibe everything from their parents. They generally act and behave as 
their parents do. As such honesty has no lessons. Children are natural apes. So, if 
parents are honest, so are the children. 
4. Do you think being completely honest all times can be not good?
Yes, sometimes being too honest means being too blunt and may sound rude or 
even hurt the other person’s self esteem. For example, if a four year old makes a 
drawing which you think is not at all good, you can still tell the child that she has
done a good job. That will encourage the child to draw again and become better. 
Similarly, at times a doctor may have to tell a cancer patient that he will get well, 
even if the chances of recovery are next to nil. 
5. Why do people lie sometimes? 
Sometimes people lie for hiding certain things. They may not want to reveal that
information and so have to lie. Some may tell white lies because the truth may
hurt others
6. How would you define white lies?
White lies are good lies, which are told to encourage someone or to protect the
sentiments of the other person from being hurt. 
7. Some people say liars are those who have a good memory, what do you think?
Liars need good memory and there is no doubt about that, but whether they have
good memory or not is questionable. Those who do not have good memory may
be caught very soon because they will forget what lie they told and in what 
context.
