DO WE NEED TO TELL TRUTH?

Truth is the only weapon that helps people to find peace in their hearts. Lies are only powerful in the short term and soon get shown up because they are inconsistent with reality. If you were to tell lies it would become obvious in the end and then you would lose credibility. Because keeping up with lies is difficult, therefore you risk contradicting yourself; if later on and looking like a dumb liar. This happens even to the most experienced liars, even to people who plan the last detail of their lie. For instance, we observe such behaviour in the court where people contradicted themselves even when they planned to lie to a judge. Hence, telling the truth is very important because it helps to distinguish those who can be trusted and those who cannot. Those who tell the truth never have to concern themselves about covering up their lies.
