If humans suddenly lost the ability to lie to others and to themselves, which of the two would win out?
--- A secure sense of honesty throughout the world.
--- A vast hatred of others' true feelings and thoughts.
And why?

I don't think it's hatred or honesty that would win or lose...
it is the fact that life in its form is mysterious... and to large extent it is so because of lies told or spread...
Heaven, God, and all the beliefs may very well get a blow if everybody stopped lying.
The fun part of the life would also go away...
Everybody's life or answer would be an open book... nothing would be unexpected ever...
We the human beings have woven this web of life... and i think a mix of honesty and hatred strikes a good balance.

a vast hatred of others' true feelings and thoughts would win out because everyone thinks mean thoughts.....if i told everyone what i really thought and said everything that i ever wanted to say then everyone would hate me....lies make peaceful existence possible.

To a certain extent this is already happening. Computerized background checks have created a new reality. You can never live down a transgression or failure. At least people have to be more honest on job applications.

i wish i could say that will happen, the world would be perfect, but i dont think that will happen here, only in heaven, a sense of honesty throught out the world would be a wonder feeling.

honestly, i think both would exist. it really depends on each person. you know, the truth hurts (most of the time), but at least you're telling the truth.
