Here's a very brief reflection I wrote about one sign by which a person's tendency toward either truthfulness or dishonesty can be discerned. https://inserviceofthereal.quora.com/Honesty
@jordicusmaximus, the necessary context for your situation differs from that of the people I was referring to. In their instance, that context is unnecessary: they have personal choice. In your situation, the choice is made for you, and necessarily so.
@jordicusmaximus, I agree with your point that a lack of empathy is also implied; while I may not have used the word empathy in the original post, for me empathy was naturally implied, because empathy for others more frequently leads to considering their viewpoints, while a lack of empathy usually predisposes us not to consider others' views.
@sufisamwise I agree though on the first point, an unwillingness to view things from a different perspective also indicates lack of empathy in general.. Bit of a red flag by any stretch.
