In principle, few people would dispute the ethical principle that honesty is the best policy. At the same time, it is hard to imagine a world in which everyone told the whole truth all the time.
Explore how you can reconcile the need to be honest with other goals by recreating a list of all the opportunities you had to tell the truth during a typical day. Identify each occasion when you chose to either:
Tell even a partial lie (e.g., saying "Nothing's wrong" when you are bothered).
Based on your self-analysis, construct a principled yet pragmatic code of ethics involving honesty.
