The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
It is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings – much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

I speak the truth all the time and can't lie. That is how I am. I can never force myself to tell a lie. Even if I try , I can't escape the truth and the best part is you never have to worry about sustaining the statements you make.Many a times when a stranger asks me , I cannot hide my name or what I do even if I try desperately. I am much relieved that I dont have to keep such things in my mind. I never had a time when i thought a lie would have been better said in such instances. The only problem is that you can never force the other person to tell the truth and you can never figure out if what they say is true or not. If I feel someone is boasting or telling a lie , I would move away since I hate talking about things that seem an obvious lie

i am sure that i say the truth and due to that reason my parents trust me. if anyone ask me anything, i would say the truth but my personal life is a secret. in fact it is the greatest secret in my life. the person who gets to hear it is not an ordinary person cause i wouldnt say it to an oridary person. i will only say if i am sure that person can help or support!!!
did you know? if you say a lie out loud one, everyone will believe but if you are saying a truth even ten times, no one will accet or believe.
that is the truth bu there are people who realise the truth and i am proud of them only if they are able to do anything about the probllem. what is the use if they realse the truth and does or even try to preserve the truth?

Truth is always like to be shared. Personal truths [certain] i don't think anybody will share it to all. It can't be said all the time to all the people.Definitely there must be some, which you haven't said it to anybody.

hi gEnTLe m@n...

Truth is indeed a very delightful thing and it really becomes a very delightful act when once you start speaking up the truth.

But its really very difficult for people to say the truth, as truth is a thing which discloses all your feelings and acts.

I dont say that i always speak the truth and that i am very truthful. I do lie, but as i am changing, i do change myself and speak up the truth. Ofcourse i do lie when it becomes necessary.. ;)...lolz...tc...sweet dreamz...bye....

I hold myself to a high moral code and I try to tell the truth as often as possible.

However, I can’t promise that I will always tell the truth. White lies like, “No I haven’t gotten your Christmas present yet” are sometimes necessary. The greatest lie is often the lie of omission. A friend bought junk food and wanted me to say that I bought it for him. I kept my fat trap shut. I didn’t lie, but I didn’t tell the truth either, but then is it my business to tell my friend what to do all the time? He smokes and I asked him if he had ever tired to quit. He said yes, and I said then you know all the bad things about smoking and I am not going to harp on it to you. I hate the fact that he smokes, it killed my father, and personally I can’t stand the smell and sight of ashtrays and cigarettes. Do I keep telling him this, do I ever tell him this? I never told him just how much I hate smoking, he only does it outside and not in my car or in his house, and he tires to not do it around me. I appreciate his understanding that I don’t smoke, he may not know how much I hate it, but he doesn’t need to. Am I lying by not telling him how much I hate it and that it killed my father? He knows the problems for himself and is a 30+ year old adult so it isn’t my business to tell him what to do.

Truth isn’t always easy to speak of or to understand. Did God create the fossils of the dinosaurs to make us assume that dinosaurs once lived on the Earth or did the dinosaurs actually live? Is the Earth billions of years old as most scientists say or is it only a few thousand years old as the Bible says? I believe in the big bang, the theory of evolution and that the dinosaurs lived. I think the bible is a collection of myths every bit as valid and written for the same reason as the Greek myths. That is a very unpopular view and quite offensive to some people. My girlfriend believes in the Bible. I don’t want religion to come between us and I have told her that. I have also told her that she shall have the freedom to practice her religion as she wants and to teach it to our children. I was raised in a Christian church and it had a great effect on me. It is one reason why I consider myself to have a high moral code. I may not follow all that the church taught, but I follow the intent. Do I shout my beliefs at my girlfriend in an attempt to convert her? Does she shout them at me? It is a tenant of the Christian faith that non believers will go to hell, so does she have to tell me this? I already know it myself and I don’t need to hear it again, so the best policy is for both of us to not rub the other person’s nose in their beliefs.

The truth won’t always set you free; if I tell my smoking friend that I hate it then that won’t help our friendship any. Life is not black and white; one of the biggest distinctions between adults and children is that they understand life is full of a lot of gray issues. Telling the truth may not always be the best policy and it will not always set you free. It is often difficult and maybe the truth is meant to be difficult and it isn’t always easy.

This is not a time of universal deceit, most news reporters try to tell as much of the truth as possible and report it to as many people as possible. The average government worker and politician wants to tell the truth and often they campaign on that very issue. The office changes people and power has a habit of causing corruption. Did President Clinton lie when he said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” Actually he was very careful to tell the truth, she had sexual relations with him. He didn’t try to engage her in standard sexual intercourse, so he didn’t actually have sex with her. She had sex with him and most Americans think that he did have sex with Monica and so lied. But, actually he didn’t, it is a technicality, but that technicality wasn’t enough for most Americans. Telling the truth with a technicality is the truth, but it is also a great way to lie. Telling the truth with a technicality is telling the truth, the exact truth, but it may not be the whole truth; it may even be a lie.

Truth is common in my life and I like to not have to keep track of the lies. I also consider that I am holding myself to a higher standard because of my policy on telling the truth. I consider myself a better person because of that; maybe not better than you, but certainly better than most people in prison. Do I tell the truth to piss people off? No, I also have the policy to try and not increase the general misery in the world.
