For me honesty could refer to a facet of moral character and connotes positive attributes along with the absence of lying and cheating. Furthermore, honesty is means being trustworthy, loyal and sincere. Honesty is so important that even it is constantely mentioned in passages of the Bible and other holly books. Once Benjamin Franklin said “Honesty is the best policy”, also Thomas Jefferson mentioned it in a letter to Nathaniel Macon, where he said “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom”.
I think that honesty is really important because if you are able to express yourself without needing lies, you may reach a best agreement with someone in the future, and maintain a good relationship with someone is easier if you base that relation in the truth. Also it is important to be honest with yourself because sometimes you can become blind of your mistakes, instead of trying to fix them, in the other hand, if you are honest you may take note of your defects and fix them, and once you have fix yor defects you Could be able to help the other people to open their eyes and notice their defects.
I choose honesty as the most important value due to I think that once honesty has been dominated, the other values and virtues will came just like that. Honesty has been important in history due to it absence, because from the assesination of Julius Caesar up to the Second World War, and our modern times.
If honesty would be present in the history, it wouldn’t have been the same.
