How to Be Honest

I write this for there are people out there that have no clue what it means to be a honest person. J.F. you know who you are.

There is such a thing as being too honest, at least out loud. Sometimes it's best to keep your opinions to yourself. There are other situations that call for a candid response. People, as a rule, expect honesty out of others. Finding balance is key. Read on to learn how to be honest.

Step1
Think before you speak. If what you are about to say will do more damage than good and could hurt someone's feelings, it might be best to remain silent. Ask yourself how you would feel if someone said it to you.
Step2
Return extra change to clerks. Give back to people what you owe them, and take care of your commitments. While this may be called "cash register honesty," it is an important step in developing an honest character.
Step3
Talk about yourself as much as you are willing to share with other people. Omitting details that may be embarrassing or harmful to your position is not always necessary. An honest person does not make up stories about herself. Instead, she is discreet with her revelations.
Step4
Tell yourself the truth. Always be honest with yourself. Denial is best left in the kitchen to boil on a stove until it disappears into the air. Eventually, your lies will catch up to you, and you will see the results or your unwillingness to live up to your own standards and to face reality.
Step5
Choose the people that you can trust to be totally honest with. Hopefully, you can tell anything to your spouse or partner. A best friend should be vetted slowly and given small pieces of your bare truth at a time. Trust is earned and it is OK to keep friendships superficial as long as you are honest with yourself.

Google Earth

This software is really great. It is free and you should check it out. All you need is a person's address and you can see their home. Google Earth is a map of the world on steroids. You can zoom and glide over stitched together satellite photos of the world. Use Google Earth to find driving directions, find nearby restaurants, measure the distance between two locations, do serious research, or go on virtual vacations.

It is fun. you can learn so much.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone

The answer is all of the above.

Believe it or not, though, dumpster diving is quickly approaching mainstream status even in affluent countries. Whether you’re looking to furnish your home, fill your fridge, or cash in on other people’s trash, this guide will teach you the ins and outs of dumpster diving.

Remember, one man's trash is another man's treasure!

Justice always prevails

Distributive justice
Distributive justice, also known as economic justice, is about fairness in what people receive, from goods to attention. Its roots are in social order and it is at the roots of Communism, where equality is a fundamental principle.

If people do not thing that they are getting their fair share of something, they will seek first to gain what they believe they deserve. They may well also seek other forms of justice.

Procedural justice
The principle of fairness is also found in the idea of fair play (as opposed to the fair share of distributive justice).

If people believe that a fair process was used in deciding what it to be distributed, then they may well accept an imbalance in what they receive in comparison to others. If they see both procedural and distributive injustice, they will likely seek restorative and/or retributive justice.

Restorative justice
The first thing that the betrayed person may seek from the betrayer is some form of restitution, putting things back as they should be.

The simplest form of restitution is a straightforward apology. Restoration means putting things back as they were, so it may include some act of contrition to demonstrate one is truly sorry. This may include action and even extra payment to the offended party.

Restorative justice is also known as corrective justice.

Retributive justice
Restoration may well not be enough for the betrayed person and they may seek revenge of some sort, whereby they can feel the satisfaction of seeing the other person suffer in the way that they have suffered.

Revenge can be many times more severe than reparation as the hurt party seeks to make the other person suffer in return.

P.S. She did get her money back there is NO investigation... you lose.

wow

Smile everyone
