When someone says, 'in all honesty' -- what are they really saying? Is it akin, to saying -- 'I'll be perfectly frank, with you'? And is being 'perfectly frank', any better, than 'perfectly honest'?
When someone says that type of 'clarifying' remark to you, what do you usually reply (that is, if anyone has ever made that remark to you)? If no one has ever stated, 'in all honesty' to you -- then, I guess that no one has had the need, to acknowledge a gray-area, when it comes to an obvious integrity/honesty.
What do you think, when you hear them 'clarify' their silly declaration of 'perfect honesty'? Would you say to someone so silly, that 'to be perfectly honest with you -- it's pretty obvious, that your complete and 'perfect' declaration, actually, just made obvious, your lack of sincerity and genuineness, by making me think, why you would have to declare being 'perfectly honest' in the first place?
It's funny, how people can try to make you feel secure about their integrity, simultaneously, throwing the faith out the window, with a silly saying, that takes away, from their 100 percent genuineness. Do you also, see the irony?
