See also the related topic of Virtues

 

Ayn Rand's thinking on honesty is especially useful in the context of finding happiness. She said that "honesty is not a social duty, nor a sacrifice for the sake of others, but the most profoundly selfish virtue man can practice...." Think of honesty as the refusal to fake reality, the refusal to pretend that facts are other than they are. For more information read Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand
