TO TELL THE TRUTH, OR NOT TO TELL THE TRUTH..

  

 

We are oscillating between these options....To tell the truth, or to keep silent, or to say something that is not truthful....

Sometimes, telling the truth seems to be the right thing to do, especially if it’s for a good cause :

 

“Truth never damages a cause that is just.”

Mahatma Gandhi

 

And also:

 

“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed.

 If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth.”

William Faulkner

 

There are situations when the truth will do no good at all:

 

“There is no doubt fiction makes a better job of the truth.”

Doris May Lessing

  

Life could be simpler , if people would speak about the true facts, about their true feelings, thoughts, emotions:

 

“Don’t beat around the bush “(Get to the point)

 

“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”

Mark Twain

 

  But, we also have to keep in mind that:

 

“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”

Mark Twain

 

Decisions, decisions....
