Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire

One of the hardest things to do is tell the truth, especially in trying situations. I would never go around boasting the morality of truthfulness because I know there are plenty of times when I have lied to avoid punishment or unfavorable consequences. However, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, telling the truth is still the best option. Keeping a lie going is very difficult and exhausting, and the results are much worse if someone finds out than if one just tells the truth to begin with. Of course telling the truth means one is almost certainly in for some kind of discipline, and there is the chance one can get away with a lie, but the risk is great. As well, there still is the point of morality. For the most part, telling the truth is just the easier route to take. It is less work, less risk, and it is much more respectable.
