Would you prefer honesty or kindness if you could only choose one?

Remember honesty can be used as a weapon, but then again... you can kill them with kindness.

Kindness. I think that will sort the rest out.

Lack of honesty in unkind, in my opinion. If someone is dancing around the truth, to spare your feelings or to avoid a reaction, you can't make plans or act accordingly.

What about government dealings... do we want them to be honest, or just kind? They're usually neither but can you imagine a world with kindness over truth?

I have low tolerance for bullshit. Give me the truth and I'll deal with it!

Since I have never known a totally honest person in my life, don't believe they exist, and probably wouldn't like one if they did, I will take kindness.

Honesty, if your naturally kind you will use honesty wisely. If your not you will be brutally honest.

I would just prefer to be up out that situation. Get you a guy/gal that can do both.

Pat Benatar sang about using sex as a weapon... hit me with your best shot, ladies

Can I still tell a friend that she has spinach in her teeth? Or a stranger that he has toilet paper stuck to his shoe? Because those things are definitely both!

I prefer honesty, but not cruelty.

WOW...THAT IS REALLY a tough question...i am a sucker for honesty...but i don't trust honest...and i'd prefer kindness, but people have been known to use their kindness against you...especially if you LIKE a kind person. I'd prefer to make up my own mind at the time when I get to KNOW the person I am with.

Kindness is a human trait. Complete honesty, it'll be like robots or computers.

You want honesty? Hang around Germans. Or Tasmanians. If you mess up, total strangers will ream you out.

My actions or someone else's? They would be different. I prefer to be kind. I would prefer others to be honest with me.
