Without exception, truly happy people are committed to telling the truth about themselves to themselves—even when it’s scary and difficult. And they extend their truthfulness to others. We all tend to think of ourselves as honest people for the most part. And in fact, for the most part we are. But when it comes down to looking our fear or sadness or anger in the face, it’s easy to back down. When I read this document about truth I realized that the truth is something amazing because it opens the door for genuine intimacy. Your honesty promotes honesty in others. It empowers them and gives them permission to be honest themselves. When people share honestly with each other about their feelings and their needs, everyone is more likely to have their needs met .Lies on the other hand will create a lot of stress and tension because when you tell lies to others, you have to remember what you said and to whom you said it “for every good reason to lie ,there is better reason to tell the truth” . When you tell them to yourself, a part of you knows it’s not true. Lies are never kindnesses and I connect this article to my uncle who was ver honest and he was always encouraging me to be honest , he taught me that only coward lie because they are scared of telling the truth.
