our teachers always tell us honesty is the best policy. But sometimes tell a lie maybe a better choice. And now in this society,it is quite a need to be able to lie for life. I am a honest people, I am not used to lying. But I really find that sometimes we do should choose to tell a lie.And telling lies also needs you have the ability. So I think it is a weak point for me that I always like to tell other the truth and my real thought. What do you think, my friend? Are you a person like to tell the truth or a lie?

they also said that the truth shall set you free. Well, I lie...I think everyone does. But it'll be really nice if we could always tell the truth. Though at times the truth can hurt us, but hey, that's reality..right?

Thanks for your comment. We all know the advantage of telling the truth. But how about telling lie, haven't you found any advantage of it?

That was the thing that we learned when we were younger, until we learned also that the adults do lies too. I used to believe that honesty is the best policy until I learned that it is not. I am not a person that like to tells lies to people, but somehow it is a good thing not to tell everything to people. Keep something is not considered a lie, but still it is not considered being honest as well.

Honesty always helps us to justify ourselves, even if the things go wrong. Otherwise it will bring lot of guit and self anger. If we are honest to what we do, then no need to fear anybody and the consequences.

Thank you for your kind comment. Also, I think If you have told one lie, you will have to tell more lie to cover it.
