It is MOST difficult to live a life of rigorous honesty. I currently believe that it is only something to aspire to. I understand that not everyone has this same aspiration. I'd say that we all know what honesty is at any level, and we all know what dishonesty is at any level. What we are comfortable with is always acceptable to our own selves, or we go crazy.

Agreed with your post.
And crazy is but one stop on the continuum between oblivious and remorse.
