Thats the thing though.. the words.. the definitions, look how they intertwine. honesty references truth. truth references faith and vice versa. those are things that belong together. and maybe they are rare but i feel like you can expect them out of certain people in your life.
and we probably don't disagree as much as i think given that you say 1 and 2 are essential. but i think part of having and and two includes number 3. without that third word applied to your character or your actions, then you have effectively eliminated the first two.
while "faithful" may just be an expectation, its definition makes up enough of the first two that for all sakes and purposes it becomes essential as well.
I agree it is a blessing to see someones true nature. and i believe it is a blessing to have expectations of someone and have them meet them. Those are the things that can make the people in your life truly amazing.
And maybe i'm skeptical, but i don't know if its possible to find all three, because on some level I wonder if anyone i've ever met has all three, and i feel that i'm being fully realistic regarding my opinion on the matter. NO ONE i have met contains all three, and more and more i'm convinced thats a fact. I just wonder if its foolish to try and pursue it anyways, or simply settle for less. Complicating those thoughts are my opinion that its sadder to give up on that belief, then to blindly pursue them. Abandoning hope in those things, would be far worse than accepting what i feel is the truth of the matter. which is that they don't exist.
