I think praying on it helps.\n\nmy father taught me this a young child: \n\nTelling the truth is not always telling everything that is in your head.\n\nTry this when you feel like telling the truth it may help. Also, I find if I might be talking too much I think would I want to write this down and if I say no to myself then I do not tell the story or whatever if I say yes then I tell it.\n\nGood Luck and I would be your friend.

We often lie to protect other people's feelings, or the shelter them.\n\nImagine if you always told the truth, no matter what.\nWife: Do these pants make me look fat?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour 6yr old kid: Dad, Where do babies come from?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour boss: How's that report (the one you forgot about and haven't even started) coming along?\nYou: ---------\n\nThe IRS, or just anyone on the street: how much did you make last year?\nYou: ---------

William Shakespeare said it a lot better than I can: "And this above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night, the day, thou canst not then be false to any man". Just be honest and tell the truth. Not mean , or ugly, but with tact and compassion.......the honest truth. That's all people want.....truth.

I wouldn't quote exact figures, but I'd say a lot of people would say "honesty is the best policy."  However, no one can be 100% honest all the time.  Think about all the white lies we all tell to spare someone's feelings or to get out of an uncomfortable situation...

I tend to be honest to my own harm. I can use my honesty as a weapon, but I'm learning not to do that. I want my tongue to be loving. Loving AND truthful.

That's a very astute quotation. It says that by keeping someone with a lie, you will hurt them more than if you were to lose them by setting them free with the truth.

Yes, you need truth for happiness, because truth will alter your preceived happiness. One you are confronted with truth, you can either accept it or fight it. if you suppress it it will haunt you. opinion only helps in the decission making process, but once truth is revealed it trumps opinion.

Not really. I think that there is a difference between giving half truth or lieing though. I think most of the time people lie because they do not want to hurt others. But what they do not realize is that the other person will usually find out that they were lied to and that hurts a lot worse then the truth.\nIt is best to tell the truth and just get it over with no matter how hard it is to say. Even if you half it or sugar coat it. At least be honest. And you have to be honest with yourself too before you can be honest with someone else. And being true to yourself is one of the most important qualities a person can have.\nI have taught my daughter I would rather her tell me the truth and she will get in less trouble then that than if she lies and I find out she is lying.

When we put forth our answers with conviction & sincerity it helps , but remember our past impressions (record) plays a big role convince a person . also remember when you promise some thing to some one you are doubting your own capability to stand true to your word.Your words should make others take your statements on face value ( no pleading no begging) it is a long and tiresome path which you and your dear & near ones both have to walk on. for that is COMPATIBILITY in it's true & genuien form,which needs no explanation or convincing.

truth is the answer.Honesty is always the best policy. we are people and some times we have to go thru a learning process and by it we learn what it is we really want and along the way to that discovery we may not understand, so sometimes we may have to give a explanation but let it be real.
