Should we always tell the truth?

"Lies are like a cigarette, it makes us addicted, it takes away our sleep and kills us little by little" We live in a
world where we are always lying and with the time, it becomes a habit, like a cigarette, because when we
start to smoke one and another cigarettes, we will be always smoking , in spite of we are always saying that
we will leave them and it is the same with lies, when we start to tell lies, we can not stop. Also, we live in a
world where we prefer to tell a lie and avoid the truth and only in this way, we can not hurt a heart, people's
feelings and more when they are close to us but there are some situations where we should tell the truth
because with lies we can go too far but what we can not do is go back. It is important that we are honest, not
only with ourself but with rest of people because when we are honest, we can earn trust and respect of
others, as well as, we do not have to remember our lies all the times.

To start, some researchers believe that we started our "white lies" When we were kids, at the age of 3 to 4
years when we started to talk faster and fluidly and it is when our parents asked us about something, such
as, food, clothes that did not like us, even when we did some pranks and we denied that we did, sometimes
blaming our brothers just to avoid punishment, since then we learned to tell a lie and feel better. Besides, lies
each day increase in our world and they can feel us better or free, but it is different with our brains, because
we have to imagine hundred of scenarios and choose which one is better and it gets complicated when we
have to remember our own lies and we can not do it. From there, the others can discover our lies and they
do not want to trust in us anymore.

On the other hand, telling lies all the time, can hurt. For example, imagine that a couple or maybe our
parents have a problem with their loving relationship, they are always fighting all day, they are tired of the
situation even they are sleeping in separate room, they want to divorce but the problem that they have little
children and they can not do it. When we ask them about the situation, they avoid talking and only answer
us that all is good, but the fights continue and continue each day. In other words, they prefer to live together
without love. It is a good idea that they live alone, each one in their homes and avoid fighting and tell lies like
"Do not worry, all is good is only a fight" when we know that it is not true, all because they do not want to be
honest with us, maybe we can feel annoyed with them at the beginning but we can accept the reality and
live in peace. A home without love is not a home and less when our parents are always telling lies.

Lastly, sometimes when someone asks us about our opinion maybe a T-shirt and it does not match with
the jean or shoes, even, when someone wants our opinion about the boyfriend or girlfriend and we think
that him or her is not good- looking, we are honest and we tell the truth but they can think that we are rude
and sometimes they do not like much, we can feel a lot of rejection of them and we can hurt their feelings,
but they asked our opinion and we were honest and avoid telling them a lie even when we hurted their
feelings.

To sum up, we should be always the truth because, at the end, we can create better connections with
people and our close friend, we will feel more confident, people can trust in us and we can trust in ourselves.
And only in that case, we can know in whom we can trust and we can choose if the truth, can hurt us or not,
but also, we can discover whom are good friends and whom are not.
