COT:
Q recently had a discussion with friends about honesty. We are called to be faithful in small matters (as well as great ones) and to let our “yes” mean yes and our “no” mean no. It’s easy to develop a habit of making “harmless” lies, to ourself and to others, so the challenge is to start breaking that impulse and instead be honest, but always charitable.
