Trust

This blog is about what I think of truth. Truth is one of the most important things that a person should believe in. Everyone should be truthful and honest, because they are the essential things in a good, virtuous person. If someone isn’t honest they lose everyone’s trust and not only that, but they lose everyone’s respect and their reputation is ruined. Being a dishonest liar is probably one of the worst things that someone can be. My parents were strict to make sure I never lied or was dishonest. I’d always have to tell the truth. Even if I did something bad, I would have to tell them the truth of what I did and not lie to them and try to hide it or else I would get in more trouble. They taught me that honesty is really important, and without honesty, I cannot be a respectable, good, trustworthy, reliable, person. This is honesty when dealing with family and parents. It also applies with relationships too.

                I believe that honesty is really essential in a good relationship. It strengthens relationships when both partners can trust the other partner enough to tell them anything they think they should know whatever is on their mind. It makes the couple feel more connected and lets them have a stronger, more honest, and close relationship. There are certain things you may think that you should keep to yourself and not tell. You may think that isn’t really considered lying, but it is. When you know something and you think the other person should know, but you still don’t tell them, or tell them only a little part of it, it is technically lying. You should tell the truth, and the full truth. That is honesty. Honesty is defined to me as being the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. I know it’s hard to tell the truth sometimes. Sometimes you don’t want to tell someone something because you’re scared they will get mad or be angry with you because of what you did. But you still have to tell them. You should not be scared to tell them the truth, they will appreciate that you are honest and had the guts to tell them. They will understand that it was a hard thing to do, but they will really appreciate that you decided to tell them the truth, instead of hide it or lie to them. You might think telling the truth will turn out badly and they will be mad at you, but that is really as wrong as it can get. They will appreciate it. Not only will they be glad you told them the truth, but you, yourself, will also be glad. Just like the old saying, “The truth will set you free.” It really will set you free. You will be glad that you were able to tell and you will feel accomplished. You will feel great knowing you have nothing to hide anymore, like a great weight has been lifted off your chest. This is what I think of truth. It is the one of the most important things in being a good person. I’m glad my parents taught me this when I was young so I know this now. Hopefully, more people in the world know this and learn for this so that they can be more truthful and honest. Dishonesty is really a bad thing. Thanks for reading. Wait for my next blog!
