Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Barbara A. Lewis

1. 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 a reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside.

Reflection: i’m truly agree with this quote because all the reasons to tell the truth are important and i think everyone should know them because it makes you realize that if you lie all the consequences you're going to have and that lies just makes the things worst and however everyone it’s going to find out the truth. And also always telling the truth makes you a honest person and honesty makes you a good person if you're not honest no one is going to trust you even if you’re telling the true because your reputation is going to be bad so everyone is going to think that you’re always lying and that turns you to a bad person and telling lies gets you more in trouble than telling the truth and if you tell the true it becomes part of your past but if you tell a lie it becomes part of your future and lies are the ones that stop you to be happy and to have your cognizant clear.
