Honesty is the best policy or the worst enemy?

Sometimes I wondered..
Why being so honest if the honesty will hurt other people that you love and the most important is yourself?
If we were all given by magic the power to read each other's thoughts, I suppose the first effect would be to dissolve all friendships..
Plus reality is bad enough. Why should I tell the truth?

But if we think deeply, lie may take care of the present, but it has no future..right?
Don't you think, once you lied, it will hunted you endlessly?

Narrated Abu Umamah (r.a.) Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

a) I guarantee a home in Paradise for a person who gives up arguments and disputes even if he is on the truth.

b) And (I (also) guarantee) a home in the middle of Paradise for a person who gives up lying (false statements) even while joking.

c) And (I (also) gurantee) a home in the highest part of Paradise for a person who has a high standard of character.”

This hadith is quoted by Abu Dawud, Al Trimidhi, An-Nasa’I and Ibn Majah
