“The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.” -James A. Garfield Honestly is the best policy. Being honest is one of the best traits a person could have. Telling someone the truth is sometimes one of the hardest things to do in life because occasionally it hurts other people, but in the end it’s the best thing for them and hopefully they will realize that. Being honest will make yourself feel better and in the long run it will help the other people too. Telling the truth is so hard for so many people these days but in order for you to feel good you have to do it. Its understandable how it hurts others sometimes to tell them the truth, but if you truly care about the person you have to do what is best for them and yourself. It is really hard to see peoples reaction to the truth sometimes because it hurts them so much, however it is natural for the person to feel that way because sometimes the truth does hurt. It takes awhile to grieve and process the truth sometimes and this is where people have troubles sometimes. We just need to let the truth sink in and soon we will come over it and move on in our lives. People of this society should value the truth. Not many people tell the truth these days, so when someone does tell the truth they should be thanked. Sometimes the truth doesn’t have much value. For example little things, but other times the truth can be so tremendously huge that people have no idea how much it matters. People don’t give enough credit to those who are honest and truthful. Its sometimes really hard to tell the truth especially when its towards someone you love. In the end, it will be worth it. When people spread rumors and tell lies, that soon becomes the truth. Many times those rumors are worse than the honest truth actually is. Many people believe rumors instead of going to the first source to figure out the truth. This is why the

    I am honest. Telling the truth can be hard for people to do but not me. Telling the truth can be hard for people to hear. But it is the only way for us to better ourselves or to move past an event in our lives. I have seen the affects growing up of how my father lied to my mother and the damage that is can cause. Honesty allows us to build trust which is such an important bond that we build with our family, friends and even total strangers. As I am getting older I am realizing that honest is always the best policy but it matters on how you deliver the honesty.…

    I think it is good that you shouldn't say anything at all instead of lying, but in the book, this is said to be the cruelest type of lies. Stereotypes create lies because a group of people's actions caused bad things to happen. Some lies are straightforward, and purpose is to avoid the truth all together. It's seems that the author believes lying is important in order to not hurt peoples feelings and to be successful and happy. Being dishonest is a cover-up for pain, hurt, guilt, or ignorance. I don't agree with author in something's that she says. It is true that lying may cover up pain, but the truth will always solve the problem.…

    Why Are Lies Wrong

    • 722 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Lies are commonly told to protect others emotions and their self-esteem, yet lies still are seen as wrong. So why is it so hard sometimes to handle the truth? Isn’t it better to be hearing the truth than being lied to your face? Maybe the problem is not the lies themselves, but we as a people lacking the ability to understand the truth and its effects that it can have. This would require that we learn better ways to resolve conflicts and the capabilities to move on from those situations. We need to question, “Would I rather be deceived right now and have the conflict become worse later, or get it over with right now?” Once we learn the benefits of telling the truth and become capable of understanding these benefits then we will be able to live in a society of complete honesty.…

    Truth has always been reality to my life in so many ways. The feelings human’s posses when the truth is told is the end product to solving any situation. Because we know what the truth is, human tend to make it better to prevent either reoccurrence of any negative issue or making it better if a gain is the outcome. My current husband has two children by his previous wife. On many occasions he wished he had never met her because of the deceit in the relationship that generated a negative outcome. I can honestly say the truth set him free when he found out that his oldest son was not his biological son. However, he remained in caring for him as his biological son because he was in denial.…

    I believe you should not lie to the people that are in your life. You may end up losing them from just lying. Brad Blanton states “ Get away from those people who begrudge you, even if it means losing business or friendship.” By this I mean that you can lose people that are really close to you and you may lose everybody also may even the people that you have a really good relationship with.…

    People say “tell me the truth, I can handle it.” But really inside, they don’t want the truth; they want you to tell them something that is going to make them feel good. What if a friend asked you a question that if you were to be honest, forced you to say something that was likely to hurt their feelings? For instance, “do I look fat in this?” As a good friend, you’re supposed to tell them what they want to hear. Lying to them this way doesn’t make you a bad friend; I believe it makes you a better one…

    The Ways We Lie

    • 499 Words

    Truth is dead but at the same time it isn’t, because we are all human and we all lie at one point, we all lie one point of the day. We lie because we are scared of what might happen if we tell the truth, because you think when you lie that you might not hurt the person who may be asking you a simple question like in a relationship you may ask your boyfriend/girlfriend: “Are you cheating?”, then they may say no because you don’t want to get caught, but really they might be cheating, so then you the person asking the question you come to the point where you don't trust your other half as much, so while you are believing the lie but later in life they truth might come out and you might get hurt because they lied to you and you believed but now the truth came out and you are emotional because they lied, so either way if you lie or tell the truth you may hurt the other person, there is always a consequence to your actions.…

    Lying is never holy, whether it is for other’s own good or one’s own selfish intention. If the truth comes to light, the person who has been deceived will feel cheated and hurt, thus will lose trust on that person once and for all. He who once deceived is ever suspected. Sometimes, the truth may be painful, it would be better to let it be reveled than to lie about to delude someone.…

    Also, lying isn’t something that is generally perceived as a way out. People want to hold each other accountable in the public, and lie behind close doors. No one wants to be known, as a liar for this could be detrimental to their social standing. They can be classified as untrustworthy, loyal, or caring. Those factors are what help create friendships far as in the workplace, social life, or even family. These are some of the cons of lying, but I feel like the risk is worth it.…

    In life I believe that honesty is the best policy and the truth will set you free always. For some people being honest and forthright is a hard battle, and some people lie constantly and it is not a good trait to develop. Some people lie day in and day out and I know that the truth always comes out. No matter how much you try and hide it. There will always be a way that someone finds out. There comes a time where no one will believe in you anymore, the trust and respect will be gone. Once you start lying so much, people will have a hard time believing and trusting you. You can lose many friends that way, you can lose your reputation. If you are not honest with yourself, how can you be honest with other people? It all starts with you and how you portray you. You can’t get away with anything you lie about. Sometimes it happens where people don’t ever find out, but somehow they can.…
