The True North of Honesty

If I asked just about anyone if they thought themselves honest, they'd say "YES!" and they'd know they were lying. Because honest is not just "I don't lie" - a true north of honesty is that I don't lie to MYSELF. And who can say that? What IS it that measures how honest you are? It's YOU. No one or nothing else. The problem is most people's honesty gauge is malfunctioning due to lack of awareness and self-centered fear telling you it's OK to be dishonest - especially when it's for the Good of ALL.
