Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth - Barba A.
- Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
- Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
- Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
- You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying{and getting caught}.
- Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
- You don't have to tell{and remember} more lies to keep your story straight.
- You gain a reputation for being the truthful-a trait most people value
- Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside.
In my own words, or interpretation of this statement, I believe that with reason or without we should tell the truth. No matter how it comes out or when the truth should always be told, preferably when it happens and the person that lived the truth. For instance, if I'm at the mall and I'm buying some shoes that have been wanting for the longest time, the person who charged us gave us an extra dollar, which was a simple mistake. Which could happen to anybody, and a dollar isn't worth nothing compared to like a ten dollar bill or even a twenty dollar bill. I could have lied and walked out of the store with the dollar and if they were to do this multiple times miscount the change. Then at the end of the day, it would come out of his salary to pay back the money they "gave away" Or they can tell the truth and they can save their money and help them with counting. You should tell the truth and chose the right!!!!
