Eight great reasons to tell the truth

-Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There’s less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don’t have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain reputation for being truthful - a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside.

Telling the truth is always reasonable and for the best. When you tell the truth others are more understanding of what happened because you told them the truth yourself and they did not find out through someone else. Telling the truth makes sense, much more than lying. No one ever has a reason to lie because it is everyone's right to know the truth. If you lie you look pathetic and with low unworthy values. If you were able to do whatever it was you lied about you will be able to say the truth overall you brought this on yourself.
