Eight Great Reasons To Tell The Truth

1. "Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. there's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, 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 for lying"
5. "Other people trust you more when you tell the truth"
6. " You dont have to tell more lies to keep your story straight"
7. " You gain a reputation for being truthful" 
8. " Telling the truth helps you feel secure and powerful"

I agree with some of these and with some i don't think they are true. For example, 7 i agree with that one because if you lie you get a reputation that you're a liar and now when you tell people something they wont believe it. I dont agree with 8 because that's not always the case and it honestly makes no sense. Truth doesn't necessarily have to make you feel secure or powerful. If you want to feel secure or powerful i dont suggest telling the truth.
