Honesty, or the lack of such

Most of us have had a situation in our lives once or twice or multiple times where honesty is a hard thing to obtain. Whether it be in social life, work life or even love life, honesty seems to stray away or was never there to begin with. But why? What causes this, especially when there was honesty in the first place?
Is it fear of a potential action or potential embarrassment? Is it fear of consequence or judgment? Or has the morals been lost somewhere along the way?
These are all questions that have no true answer because if you can't obtain honesty before the questions, you won't obtain an honest answer.
I really dislike it when I'm treated like an idiot. It really gets to me when people can't just spit out the truth when you know they are holding something back for whatever reason it is. Or when you catch them in a lie and they still keep up with the bush beating. Why people can't be up front and honest is beyond me but trying to understand what some people do is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'll just get used to being treated like an idiot by some people while continuing to excel to show other people I'm worth more than they originally believe. I deserve a chance to show I can correct my mistakes just like the rest of us, assuming that we show the initiative. We all deserve honesty because if we're not honest with each other, we won't know our true faults. But this is not a perfect world.
Some of us hide the truth because we're ashamed of the choices we've made. Others guide the truth because they're afraid they will hurt the ones that had "meant" so much to them at one point. Regardless, we have conformed into a society ruled by fear. We allow our conscious minds to take the wheel and cause war.
This is something I will not stand for anymore.
As one, finally being in touch with my higher mind, I will continue to provide honesty. I will continue to not be ashamed of my past and let it hold me back. I will continue to not assume what others are thinking and/or doing. As human, I have questions but not all questions need an answer and that is the most important aspect we need to accept in life to achieve success. Only put forth energy towards the questions with answers that can be obtained.
If you can't be honest with others, you can't be honest with yourself. If you can't be honest with yourself, you can't obtain your goal. If you can't obtain your goal, what are you doing? If you don't know what you're doing, then your considered a waste and if you're considered a waste, your life must be reassessed if you want it to change.
This is my shpeel for the night. No edits or review. Just the raw thought process. Pay attention or don't. You have the choice. Whether you make the right choice, it's a decision only you can make.
