When you lie you have to keep the pretence going on even though you might not remember what you've said and it's taxing of your reason, whereas the truth is the truth and so much easier on the mind and the soul!
the truth no matter how ugly it gets can always be forgiven when you lie thats deception an honest attempt to deceive on purpose nothing good can come from it and without trust you have nothing ive learned this the hard way now i question almost everything honesty is the only rational choice
