The truth is the only way forward
I still lie about some things. What I can do is be deliberate about where.
To tell the truth is to bring the most habitable reality into Being. Truth builds edifices that can stand a thousand years. Truth feeds and clothes the poor, and makes nations wealthy and safe. Truth reduces the terrible complexity of a man to the simplicity of his word, so that he can become a partner, rather than an enemy. Truth makes the past truly past, and makes the best use of the future’s possibilities. Truth is the ultimate, inexhaustible natural resource. It’s the light in the darkness.

We all have to fight the tension to lie or not but I think for any long term goal. Telling the truth is key, I say that but there are some areas that I always lie about or that I keep secrets and I think that’s okay.
It’s just that I will strive to tell the truth and if not I will try to at least be intentional about where I am lying.
