Personal Experience • Honesty is very important in my life. I will always tell the truth until the day I die. Many different things have happened in my where it would have been easier to lie, but I told the truth. Many people will lie to you to make you feel better, or other nicer lies for your benefit, and this not always bad, but if it is misleading, it can harm you. I don’t do this, and sometimes it is harder to tell the truth, but I try to always do it. “It takes strength and courage to admit the truth.” ― Rick Riordan, The Red Pyramid
