The Best Policy

Submitted by ub on

Honesty is always the best policy. Some of us chose to tell small lies to avoid reality, or difficult situations and hide feelings or intentions. However, lying always comes at a price whilst the truth is invaluable.

The truth may be sacrosanct, but everyone knows it is wiser to tell a white lie if the truth causes unnecessary strife so its OK to bend it a bit. But not too much or it could break and fly back in your face.

After watching the Sunday talk-shows we have a reminder for our leadership, believe me, this I can tell you. Everyone feels better about themselves, once they make a resolve to always be honest and open.

The truth will always come out, so by lying you are only ’buying time’ but it bites when it’s revealed you lied.

You will feel better about yourself if you are honest and open.

Others will be able to trust you and trust is the basis for all relationships and will seek your honest opinion.

You won’t have to remember and maintain a web of lies which lead to covering up and creating a vicious cycle.

Lying is the coward's way, so be honest and learn to tackle uncomfortable situations to grow as a person.
