What have people been searching for since the dawn of time? The truth. Why do you always feel better after you have got something off your chest? Chances are you told the truth. Why is nature so beautiful? It celebrates truth. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. The truth will out as they say in court.

How could people not want the truth? Well, let's take a look at this question. They are lying because they are hiding something. That is one reason. Why are they hiding something? Who knows, but they don't want anyone to find out. And how do you feel when you hide something? I know I feel I am always looking over my shoulder. Come on, everyone has done it. It is part of human nature. The unseemly part. Lying causes stress, and stress is responsible for more health problems than any other factor according to the medical pros. Don't make a habit of lying. The payoff is sickness, both mind and body.

The truth is glorious. The truth will set you free! You've heard these sayings before, and I believe it is so true. Once the truth is out there, you have no choice but to feel free. And that is a wonderful feeling. One can feel that much closer to the cosmos.

We only have so much time on this earth. We are just a millisecond in the astronomical clock. Take a look at the universe, and it will blow your mind how insignificant we are. Since we don't have that much time here, why not tell the truth? Let's make this a better world for all of us. Lying certainly doesn't help, it just clouds the picture of our lives.

If more people would live by the truth, more harmony would result. Less stress, more harmony. It is just logical.

The truth hurts sometimes, but we can get over it. Life isn't fair, but obscuring the truth will guarantee a tilted playing field. Not much can get accomplished if you can't even begin to play the game of life, let alone win.

Make it your goal to strive for the truth. Try every day. I think you will begin to see the results in a positive way. Nobody is perfect but trying and failing is better than doing nothing. It is okay to fail at delivering the truth. We are human after all. But to not try and to live in a tangle of lies will really leave you empty. Empty of this business called life.

The truth has an inherent beauty. It is part of nature. Mother nature knows what she is doing. Do you think you can compete with her? Keep lying. The result is not pretty.

Stay with the truth. Let it be your guidepost. It will be a lot easier to get to your destination. And you will be a lot happier.
