#4 Honesty And Masculinity

When was the last time you lied? How often are you dishonest? How many lies have you told today? Your first instinct might be to think you haven’t told any lies, but that’s probably just another form of dishonesty, or, more specifically, lying to yourself. When was the last time you were lied to? Was it by someone you generally trust? Was it by someone who you expect to be dishonest with you? Did you even question it as it happened? Did you even notice? Why do so many men lie? In part two of my series on what I have identified as the seven principles of masculinity (knowledge, honesty, valor, integrity, vigor, utility, and command), I explore how honesty is a powerful principle of masculinity, and set forth how the pros of being an honest man far outweigh any perceived cons.
