Two main things come to mind when I see this card:
(1) that to truly be honest you must also be humble. Using "honesty" to be cruel to others is not being honest it is being hateful, it is one of those things that afflicts the Soul Shrinker. If you are honest with someone using humility then although the truth may be painful, your compassion will soften the blow. To me that is what this card asks of me, to be humble and compassionate while being honest.
(2) Remember the song "Honesty" ~sings: "honesty is such a lonely word" ....~ loneliness is the second thing that comes to mind. It takes courage to be honest, particularly with one self, and it is often a lonely and desolate road. But a very necessary one.
