It is actually better to know the truth no matter what because deceiving people and lying can cause more harm than good. This is why I prefer to say whatever is on my mind at that moment because when you start procrastinating or you tell a lie at that moment you would need a thousand more lies to cover up before the truth finally reveals itself.
The thing about speaking the truth although it is not easy because as humans we tend to falter and this can prick our conscience that we are confused as to whether to lie or say the truth. No one is perfect but we must try because saying the truth brings clarity and allows you to have freedom from whatever could have burdened your mind.
Just like we watch in Nigerian movies, we see how people make mistakes by having an affair with either their friend:s wife or their Best Friend's Boyfriend. Recently, I watched a movie on YouTube where the lady got drunk and had an affair with her friends boyfriend. She did not tell her friend immediately when it happened because she did not want to break up their relationship because of her mistake. But one thing people tend to forget about lying is that the truth always prevails no matter how good you are at covering it up.
In the movie, the offenders thought that keeping it between themselves would be the best decision they would make for themselves and her friend. But unknown to them, someone recorded them because they were in a vulnerable state as they were drunk. This person started blackmailing them to the extent that they had parted away with 10 million Naira before they decided to tell the truth.
Going by this movie, we can see that time is also an important Factor whenever you are telling the truth because it will determine how far you have to go to life and cover up. Revealing the truth to her friend got her so upset that she called off the relationship. But it was a good thing because she was not deceived as it would only make things worse.
In conclusion, it is better to know the truth than live a lie because the future will be full of regrets.
