I'll turn this on it's head Pedro and pose this question
The opposite of honesty is deception — or lying. Lying is equally bad whether you are deceiving others or yourself. When you lie, you delude yourself into believing what you’re saying. You start digging a hypothetical ditch, even if with an infant-sized spoon, that will keep getting bigger over time. You confuse yourself, confuse others, lose credibility .
Therefore honesty is always the best policy whether on C.S. or life itself, and make belief is for children not adults.
