I Believe In Telling the Truth

You have heard the saying that there is your version, my version then the truth, correct?

Sometimes it is not easy to be honest or truthful. Most of us don't want to get into the middle of things. We don't want to contribute to any problems or be accused of starting trouble.

I have decided from an early age to tell the truth. It doesn't mean that I rush or volunteer information, but if I am put into a difficult position as I recently was, I always take the high road and tell the truth. Sometimes our motives are questioned or misunderstood but it is up to the audience to determine who they are going to believe.

I find it is much easier to be honest. If you tell your version of the truth with complete honesty, it will be much better received than if you withhold information or lie.

You might not like my version of the truth, but every single morning, I can still get up and look myself in the mirror.

Recently, I was put in a difficult situation between 2 friends. One was lieing to the other. I could have kept quiet but it was bothering me. If I could save one person some heartache, it was worth it. I lost one of the friends but it is ok. It was worth it. My conscience is intact.

It is a difficult call. But following your conscience is definitely the best way. As for the friend who lied...maybe if he or she presents an apology you will forgive.
