This ia the title of autobiography written by "Gandhi", the father of Nation of India.
It requires real courage to face/speak the truth. We sometimes speak the truth and most of the time deviate ourselves from the truth,that too without any proper reason;just out of habit. Stick to the truth at any cost and see the huge upliftment in yourself. What stops you to speak the truth all the time?  |

I speak truth when I speak but I choose the TRUTH that is appropriate to the situation and the desired outcome. |

You can ask 10 people what happened at a disaster or accident and get seferal versions of the truth.....why? Perception......and intake and outtake of the situation.......

Then, there's the propaganda that folks would believe is the truth and will defend it to the grave.

The truth will set you free. It will bring closure and peace of mind.
Don't beat about, get to the heart of the matter and get it out. |

yeah, walk around telling the truth and see how many people shut you up because they don't wanna hear it!!!
I am a person that would rather tell the truth than lie even when the truth is harder to hear! I also would rather hear the truth and know what I am dealing with than to face a situation based on lies, BUT most people are not like me-IMO! Most people would rather lie to themselves or others to "soften the blow" or to make it easier to cope with a situation. I have been called "heartless" among other things because I'd rather tell someone the truth about how I feel than lie to them or lead them on. I really hate being lied to & really don't understand what is so hard about dealing with the truth. IME-people lie because they are afraid of the consequences of telling the truth, but lying always seems to make matters worse |

I have seen a few posts on lying before. Usually I just read. I guess I'm in the mood to type right now (ha). In general I don't like to lie because it's just too difficult to remember things I've said. It's just easier to tell the truth. BUT....I have lied. My brother was fighting cancer years ago and asked how he looked. Under 100 pounds at the time and like a skeleton, Of course I told him he looked good under the circumstances and even a little better than the other day so he should keep on fighting. I lied to the children every time Christmastime came about Santa. I also told them that Santa brings the presents because he couldn't give them to Jesus himself for his birthday. I lied several times to my mother who lives states away telling her things were fine here...I didn't see the need to make her worry. Another time a friend had been in a bad accident and she was the only one that survived. When she asked how the others were I told her they were pretty banged up but they would be ok and she should concentrate on herself and getting better. I figured after her surgeries she could handle things better. The family agreed with me, we all lied. I have also lied and told someone that they were right and I was sorry, even though I knew I was right just to avoid more fighting. So yes, I lie. But never to hurt someone, never make someone feel bad, and sometimes to avoid a guaranteed hurtful experience for someone. Although, honesty is usually the best policy, (especially for someone with a poor memory) :-)

We all have truths. My truths aren't necessarily the same as yours. Its all about perception.
Honesty is a different concept and is what we all should strive for. An honest caring person will still tell the occasional white lie as pointed out. But they can still basically be an honest person. A relationship built on honesty will stand the test of time. One built on lies is always doomed. |

What stops people from speaking the truth all the time.
empathy for others feelings in a big one. not really knowing what the truth is, due to perception etc. is probably the biggest one. besides ... the truth changes like and with the time and you may think you are speaking the truth but you are slow or fast and get it wrong. so .... try as you may , to speak the truth always. under analysis you will find you failed. so ... cut out the word .. always ... and move to... as much as possible... then maybe... you won't fail so often. |

But never to hurt someone, never make someone feel bad, and sometimes to avoid a guaranteed hurtful experience for someone. Although, honesty is usually the best policy, (especially for someone with a poor memory) :-) For me this response is it. I try very hard to be honest and usually succeed well at it. But some lies are helpful. When a girlfriend is excited about a date and comes out in her dress after hours of primping and you think she looks, well not her best, what good does it do to tell her that as she is all confidant and ready to go? None. This may be a trite example but it came to mind...Lies have a place. The truth is needed and worth any risk most of the time but not all of the time. |

Nothing stops me.
I speak MY truth at all times, even when I don't like the taste of it. By 'being the change I want to see in the world', I hope that I release others into being free to speak their truth...irrespective of the taste or distaste. Life is not frilly pink and fluffy...it's raw and vulnerable and real, affronting, confronting, and liberating.  |
