Honor and honesty

HOnor thy mother and father and you will live a long life. This is one of the ten commandments given to the israelites, that was given on mount sinai. People like to quote this a lot, but what does HONOR mean?

And how does this link with being honest? What is being honest?
When someone is honest, they are telling truth. They are not whitewashing anything. They aren't pretending everythings ok when its not.
Sometimes honesty may get you into trouble, but it is better than lying. How do we honor people? Not by flattering them but by being truthful.

So lets be honest and honorable. Proverbs 24:26
