Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth 

Barbara A Lewis
  1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
  2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished. 
  3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
  4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than lying (and getting caught)
  5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
  6. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight
  7. You gain a reputation from being truthful - a trait most people value
  8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside.
All of these reasons are true in most cases. Honestly, if you have good values and were told at a young age that lying was wrong then you would not need to be reminded. I noticed number 2 talks about being honest about things to not harm the innocent and I think that is really important because  of all the black people that have been falsely accused based on what they look like. Also, black people were punished and they did not lie, they simply were human and looked different from the people that enslaved them. I believe that everyone should tell the truth, especially to themselves and people around them. It is important to be able to have someone to be able to truly talk to them and tell them how you feel about certain things. I would also like to point out that throughout Trumps presidency has has lied more times than told the truth. A president that lies is not fit to be president. Trump has lied about even the smallest things like his health, his doctor and himself both lied to make him seem a good weight amount when it really isnt true. I think everyone should not lie but in order for the people to not lie we need our fundamentals ot not lie, meaning our parents and people that guide us like teachers and presidents .

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right." - Albert Einstein I agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because it is true. It is true because many times people get the wrong impression about certain things just because many people are doing it. Making good decisions is very important and i understand that at times it is harder to make good decisions because maybe a group of your friends isn't making bad choices. This quote is telling me that good choices aren't always made by people but it is important for your sake that you choose the right regardless of if anyone is making the same choice.
