Reflection:

The truth is a very important thing. Something you should keep something you should not lie about. Telling the truth can lead you to less trouble and to more trust on yourself. Disobeying the truth can lead to lies after lies. It can also lead to loneliness, hatred, dishonest, a ruined reputation, etc. Many benefits come from telling the truth. As explained in the list of 8. Above that there are many ways why you should always stick and say the truth. Always remember that by lying you get nothing in return by telling the truth you get peacefulness and more inside.
