Lets say somebody entered a public building that you were in and started shooting people. But there were too many people for the person to shoot them all before they could escape. However by unfortunate bad luck you are the last person inside and you get trapped by the gunman before you can get out of the building. You race down into the basement of the building hoping to hide but he knows where you are and follows you down the steps tripping half way down. The maniac falls and breaks his neck. You are now faced with the possibilty of being a hero who bravely stayed behind and single-handedly took down a gun-wielding madman. Since nobody saw how he died who could dispute your claims of heroism?
Do you crave the comfort of everyone's praise or do you put the cold truth out for all to see?

I did not put this question here because i was looking for an answer. I already know what most of you are going to say. I just wanted people to think about the question and then give themselves an answer.

It is always best to be truthful.
Even though no one saw it, forensic evidence can prove otherwise.
Besides, if people see you as what you're not, they will expect more tha you are and can you really have a close relationship with any friend or loved one with THAT skeleton jitterbugging in your closet?

The most important thing in life is a guilt-free good night sleep.For two minutes of fame , you will be cursing yourself for the rest of your life. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde , do not do things that you cannot discuss at the dinner table.
