Ok but people are both honest and dishonest so how do you decide what type a person is?





If a person chooses to be dishonest when that benefits them, they're a dishonest person.

Nobody is perfectly honest so this definition isn’t useful without further qualification.

because dishonest people can choose to be honest

honest when it benefit you is not truly honest


> because dishonest people can choose to be honest

According to you. But why can’t the opposite be true?

> honest when it benefit you is not truly honest

Show me a person who has never been dishonest.


"According to you. But why can’t the opposite be true?"

"Show me a person who has never been dishonest."

My mother always honest with me
