IMO, you can be honest and silent at the same time.
Honest, yes.  Truthful, no.  Very subtle difference.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

In your OP you stipulated that everyone would have to "tell the truth". You didn't stipulate that everyone would have to talk constantly. It's true that there are such things as lies of omission, but a world in which everyone was constantly saying whatever they were thinking is not a world I would live in, mostly because people already do too fucking much of that already.

:(  I am one sorry individual, I must admit.

:emo:
meh...  that's my current appraisal of self.   :|   if anyone 'knows' why I posted my 'self appraisal' hopefully your smart enough to ignore it.

Look, if you MUST whine, please do so out in the cold of the rest of the internets.

You're staining the seats.

Why does truth always have to be spoken?

How about being honest with yourself and being honest with others when it's important?

What do you mean by "being honest with yourself"?

When lying to myself, I always know that I'm lying. Otherwise, it's just called being wrong.

That's you.

Many people in my opinion believe what they believe for feelings of comfort, acceptance  or something else that suits a need of theirs.

Seeking truth and not hiding from it is what I should have said.

If one can embrace the truth, then being honest at crucial times will be infinitely more valuable.

Lots of people lie to themselves with knowing it. It's called being in denial.


And somehow, accepting that one is in denial is one of the hardest things in life to do. :x
