Is It Better to Telling the Truth?

I am 100% believe it is better to telling the truth in every relationship than keep lying, even though it sounds naive and some people find it is hard to do. Relationship in this context is not only applied between us and someone we know, but also as human to human. This is because we never know what people feel and think, also whether our lie will turn good or bad to that people. We all are only common people, who do not have ability to do such.

For example, some parents maybe ever told a lie to their child, but they never know if their child really did not know the truth. It is possible the child has already know all of these time but pretend does not know anything. Even though that lie is for their child’s sake, but they never could control what their child thinks later. Therefore the parents could not blame anyone else but themselves when their child lost the trust to his parents.

Someone said if we once tell a lie, we would tell a bigger lie to cover previous lie. It will create an open loop lying and burden our own heart. Besides, once the people know about our lying, their trust has already broken. So, what I am trying to say here is there is no good will come out from lying, whether to other people or ourselves. Moreover, if we tell the truth, maybe it is hard, but it is surely harder to them if they found about the truth later in a way we never expected and even gives worse impact. Though even if the truth is really hurtful, we can always find another way how to speak the truth. It is always better than keeping the lie within our heart and hurt ourselves later on.
