Dishonesty is propagating the lie, dishonesty is spreading untruth to the people. Dishonesty takes many forms, from theft to gossip to tricks to downright falsehoods. When one takes something that does not belong to them, be it an idea, an object, or a relationship, it is an act of dishonesty. Dishonesty is portraying yourself to be something you are not. Dishonesty is telling lies to yourself about yourself, so much that you deceive yourself. Dishonesty is telling yourself that you don’t have a problem. Honesty can break this cycle.
