Honest is being truthful and sincere. Honest man is full of honor; just and upright. Honest is the opposite of cheating or thievish. A honest man is free from fraud; he is candid, truthful and ingenious. Honest man is truthful because his word and action reveals genuineness, facts and reality about a thing. He makes right statements which makes him to be trustworthy or reliable. Honesty is the bedrock of relationship between two peoples e.g friends, husband, wife and business associates. Honesty stimulates trust and sincerity.

A  honest man is faithful to someone with whom he has an agreement or relationship. The act of honesty demands that a honest man keep to agreement or terms of a contract that he is into. A honest man will not deceive or cheat other person. He is a man of integrity.

Integrity is a state of of uprightness in ones character. A state of maintaining a stable control of mind. It is a condition of having enough resistance to external influences that contradict one’s genuine belief of honesty. A honest man has good values that can be emulated by others. He is composed and stable in noble character. 

Cheating is an act of dishonesty. A cheat is full of deceit. A cheat cunningly deprives others of something by deceit. A cheat acts unfairly to gain an advantage. Cheating promotes evil and leads to shame, disgrace and destruction. A cheat cannot be trusted. He is not reliable. Cheating is the practice of deceit. It is to deceive a person.

A cheat and a honest man can never relate profitably. Cheating and honesty are character traits. While a honest man establishes justice and fairness, a cheat is perverse. Honesty guarantees peace, harmony and love, cheating promotes hatred and disharmony. A honest man promotes togetherness and friendship while a cheat through deceit and fraud causes disunity.

A honest man is full of joy and at inner peace while a cheat is sad, fearful, gloomy and lives a fake life.

It is a clear fact that for a relationship to exist, there must be an agreement between two like minds. The character of a honest man which is truthfulness is opposed to that of a cheat which is deceit and fraud. These two are opposites. It will therefore be difficult for a cheat and a honest man to make a relationship.

However, since a cheat is known to be cunning to succeed in his trade of cheating, a honest man must be wiser than the craftiness of the cheat  to escape being trapped in his deceit.
