What do I believe about truth?

Todays prompt is talking about what I believe about truth. Truth is an important aspect in people’s relationship. One must tell the truth to be trusted. When people find out that a person is a liar, it is really hard to regain that same trust that was once there. It is like breaking a glass vase. You can always fix the glass and it is probably going to take a real long time to fix, but even when it is fixed it just isn’t the same as it was before.

Telling the truth is always the right thing. Even when it all seems wrong, it is always the right thing. When you tell the truth, you won’t be in trouble. I have told the truth and have had people not believe me a whole lot of times. I really don’t care if the person believes me or “buys what I’m selling”, because it is nothing but the truth. People who refuse to believe the truth that comes out of people’s mouths are just stubborn. They think they are the best at everything and are right all the time, but in reality they just want power over everyone else. That’s just not right at all. Who are you to even say what’s right or not. I especially hate it when I have told nothing else but the truth to a person and yet they still refuse to believe me.

There have been many times where I have had the choice to tell the truth or to lie, and believe it or not I mostly tell the truth. Yes of course I have lied a few times in my life but who has not? Sometimes the truth just simply hurts and a small lie is needed. There are times when people should not know the real truth of something and are lied to because of that. For example, if your four-year-old child asks you where babies come from or how do you make a baby; that is a clear moment when you are to lie. If you tell the child the truth, it will be all too weird for the child. He or she is just not old enough to know that truth yet, but when the child grows up he or she will get it. Sometimes lying is needed for people not to get hurt either. However, people who don’t tell the truth ever or just always lie, they are the people that screw up relationships. I have stumbled upon many people who have lied straight to my face and I knew exactly at that moment that they were lying. It really irritates me from how they just can’t simple tell the truth.

Being truthful is going to get you a lot of respect from people. If you have been truthful for most of your life, many people around you will trust you. Your reputation will excel and that is definitely a good thing. One must remember to tell the truth most of their life because it is a good deed. Truth is one of the most important factors in a relationship.  Without truth, there is not trust. Without trust there is no us. Without us, there is no u (you). Therefore, just tell the truth! Nothing is hard about not telling the truth. If you tell the truth all the time you will have no problem and it is only up to the people around you to choose whether they believe you or not. Personally, I believe that the people who don’t believe the truth so easily are just rude people.
