I always tell the truth, because the truth always comes out in the end. Then if you lied, you look like as ass; so to avoid looking like an ass, tell the truth.
Thanks Maria. Yes the truth always comes out in the end; that's absolutely true and it's usually when we think we've got away with it and when we least expect it.
I think it becomes fairly obvious to others when we don't tell the truth and I agree with you, we do tend to look like an ass.
Wow! Such a simple little quote, but so true. The truth does have a habit of coming back to bite if we don't own it.
Thank you, yes and I agree. It is so true.

Lies help to ensure that ignorance remain pervasive in this world and our power structures are relentless in its efforts to keep it that way.
If the truth doesn't catch up with you, the lie will.
Thanks Tim. Ditto on your thoughts. I agree.
As difficult as it can be, it's best if we tell our own truth and deal with people's reactions to it.
If others tell it for us, they might make us look worse than we actually are.
Ain't that the truth!!
Thanks Lisa. Yes absolutely and I agree; we will always get caught out when we don't tell the truth. No doubt in my mind.
