Unfortunately the relatively simple concept of truth has been manipulated to such an extent that one wonders if truth is only in the eye of the beholder. By way of example here is how the ANC through the TRC redefined the truth to meet their own political ends :
To tackle these problems, the ANC/SACP, through the TRC, proceeded to conduct a pseudo judicial process presided over by its own trusted propagandists, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the once-Reverend Alec Boraine. As Jeffrey shows, to achieve the desired results they first re-invented the concept of truth (in the manner of Pravda) and then set about flaunting every judicially sanctioned method of establishing that truth.
The TRC proceeded on the astonishing premise that there are four kinds of truth. One, rigorously tested, factual truth. The other three: “personal narrative truth,” social or dialogue truth,” “healing or restorative truth.” The duplicity that Jeffrey set out to expose shows these sophistries could as well have been otherwise described, as “hearsay,” “unsubstantiated allegations or false testimony” and “wishful thinking.” This perversion of established legal process denigrated the very notion of “factual truth.”

Haha!
No it doesn't! No it doesn't!
For a wee bit of a laugh I used to take 3 month, Truth Vows with my friends which required us to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
It's not as easy as you may think, but in time you learn ways to tell people the absolute, honest truth without really telling them anything. You use word play and rely on them filling in the blanks with their own misconceptions and pre-conceived ideas.
It's not your fault if they misinterpret the facts now is it?

Actually...it depends....I mean if you NEVER lie, then, Yes, I guess that you could be considered a honest person...but if you tell the truth, like, once, then that makes your truthful...not really honest...
I dunno...good question thought! â¥

Verbally he would be. He could be a pickpocket which is undeniably dishonest but as long as no one ever asked him if he was a pickpocket he would be considered honest because he always tells the truth.

Yes
But you have to be careful about it.
My Uncle is one of those people who are brutally honest he tells things the way they are.
He does not even try to soften it up.
It can be funny sometimes but it can be very hurt when he tell you the truth.

Not at all.
You can steal someone rotten or defraud them out of almost everything they have and be truthful about some of your deeds.
Difference between actions and words spoken here.

Nope...
Maybe for that moment of truth, yes. But does it apply as one of their traits? That is the question....
