Honesty is the best policy

Once again I have to mention the vocabulary in this unit, just perfect. Very useful, handy and diverse.

 Expressions as; the rule of thumb, to be caught lying, and put the pieces together are already part of my vocabulary




Another point is the accuracy in this unit when it comes to honesty and how people have lost their values maybe to get a better position at work, to get friends, to avoid embarrassment, to avoid punishment, and many other reasons.

 It is human to lie, I mean each one of us has lied about something in life but we have to avoid this, since as we learned, it is quite difficult to gain trust back when we lose it.






We have to be aware of the consequences of lying, but also the causes. As we saw, narcissistic people are most likely liars, people who only think about the here and now might as well drop into the liar category.
