Honesty, truth, and when to shut up



Honesty and truth are universally considered as good things and necessary character traits. But today I started thinking:

-Is there such a thing as being too honest?
-Should we always "tell the truth, the WHOLE the truth, and NOTHING but the truth, so help us God"?

Aren't there lots of instances when we should just shut the heck up?


And if so, how can we tell the difference? Sure, common sense helps in most circumstances, but what about those complicated situations that involve other people's feelings? Should we always tell the truth, even if it's something that will hurt someone? Are we going to get shot for being the messenger?

Feel free to comment...
