Everybody Win's When Everybody's Honest. (Today I Learned #203)


Listen Later

Today I learned that Everybody wins when Everybody’s honest. I was waiting for the train to come back home from visiting my mom, sister, and brother and felt somebody staring at me. I turned to my right and there was a very attractive girl gradually coming close to me on the escalator where I was standing near. I thought about what to do and I decided to distance myself from the girl. So I stepped away and created some distance from where she would likely stand when she got off the escalator. I turned and looked at her and she looked at her phone but had her body position towards me. I thought about going towards her to say yellow but I decided not too. Eventually the train came and as I walked in her direction to board the train she walked in the opposite of mine to reciprocate the rejection I had served her. I thought about why I had rejected her so immediately. It was simply because I had been rejected not an hour ago from another girl so I wasn’t so willing to try again so soon. Later on that train ride I her the girl I rejected in a casual conversation with the person across from her. From what I heard the conversation ended aprubtly and on bad terms. I had a feeling that the negative energy I delivered to the girl had influence that conversation she had with the person sitting across from her. Later that day I realized that had I been honest with myself and admited that the real reason why I didn’t want to engage with the girl who started off smiling at me was because I feared being rejected twice. Instead of being skeptical as to why she was so inviting to me. That moment taught me that Everybody wins when Everybody is honest. Meaning that being honest with oneself not only benefits you but also the people around you. Pushing yourself to reveal the truth in your own mind makes it easier for others to do the same. Lies easily take root and they grow fast. By practicing honesty for ones sake and the sake of others lies in your vicinity are less stronger because you don’t partake in them. With practicing honesty you see people pickup lies that you know they know are wrong. You see them aim down with amusement. This caused me to loose hope for these particular people. This caused me to be temporarily against particular types of people. But to loose hope in another person would mean to one day eventually loose hope in myself. It seems that since ‘Everybody wins when Everybody is honest’ this means ‘Everybody looses when Everybody is dishonest’. Widespread dishonesty breaks up all types of human relationships. Dishonesty breaks up family’s. Dishonesty breaks up friendships. Dishonesty can even ruin the most productive working environment. This is the case because dishonesty tends to steer things in the negative. And it usually does this fast.
