If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything

Thanks, I totally agree with you. When you speak the truth, it is like as if something heavy was taken off your shoulder. You will never be at peace because you will have the carry the guilt in your conscience as long as you choose to hide the truth. That is why they say that only the truth will set us free. You're right that in order to hide your lies, you need to fabricate more lies. Making it harder for you to remember everything you have said. This will also lead you to hurt more people although this is not your intentions. Sometimes, the more lies you tell, the more people you hurt including yourself.

@paper_Doll- Well Thanks a ton for your response. Yes i agree to you on this. The moment u say a truth, u feel as if u have stated a point and that u would never be looked upon by anyone with suspicion. Sometimes we might tell lies for the betterment of a situation which is OK but that does mean that we will make it a habit of saying it all the time. We should understand the fact that we should always be honest and truthful even if that would lead to loss of certain relationships. What say?

@BethelSophia- Thanks a ton for your response. Well yes u are right, some people are so good at telling lies that people accept it as a truth and the one telling lies feels as if he is successful in fooling the people but he is forgetting the fact that in the process he is going against his ground and morality and he is in fact cheating on himself. yes no doubt we all say lies at times but it should not be said deliberately. What say?

Thank you for sharing randy, that's the golden rule and if we only apply this rule, we can really save so many relationships. The truth hurts but I think it is harder if you will only find out about this after so many years. Because if you did find the truth earlier, you should have changed your mind and therefore, change your directions and plans in life. It would be much painful because you'll feel not only betrayed but that you have wasted many years of your life living in a lie. This is what the other party (the amalayers haha) don't realized. They think that by hiding the truth, they can save their relationship and would protect all the people involved from getting hurt. But I do think that it was a selfish act because if I am the person involved, I would rather know the truth the soonest. I think that they are just using that because they are afraid to face the consequences of their wrongdoings.

That's indeed right Randy that's indeed a golden rule.

Thank you for your response. There are so many reasons why people cannot always speak of the truth but later on it is only the truth that can make them at peace.

Thank you for sharing aghiuta. I do agree with this ...lies have short legs,and you always catch up with them. Yes, the truth will always be unfold no matter how people tried to hide them. And when this happens, like you said, it will be more complicated and much difficult to face.

Yes, I have encountered some people like this. I am a person who remember most of the things that others said before. And I have this tendency of opening a topic, which is few years old, as if it was only discussed yesterday. My ex told me that this girl named Miles who sent his a message 4 years ago was his cousin. And when I asked him about this Miles, he totally forgot what he told me before. He told me not to worry myself about that girl because she is only a neighbor and nothing more. Amalayer!

Yes, that is so true. You can't really have peace of mind of you are hiding the truth or lying. You would always wonder what's going to happen if your lies were exposed, and you can't really escape from the fact that sooner or later, the truth will come out and you have to face the consequences, not to mention that the situation will be far more complicated than it was before. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. Have a good day!

Thanks Ms. Trisha. Yes, many people do tell a lie to protect others and themselves from being hurt. But in the long run, they will just find them without peace of mind so they will have to take the burden for as long as they don't tell the truth. They say truth will set you free and I do agree with this. Sorry to hear about what happened to you and your friend. This reminds me of the story I have read before where a woman borrowed a pair of earrings from her friend and said that she will take good care of it. But she lost the earrings and was afraid to tell her about it. So instead of telling her the truth, she looked everywhere to buy the same earrings but it ends up that the same earrings cost a lot of money. But still, instead of telling her friend the truth, she just sold her properties to get the same earrings and then gave it to her friend. Many years after, they saw each other. Her friend was shocked upon seeing her because she looked so poor. Then that was the only time she admitted that she lost her earrings and sold her property so she could buy another earrings to return. Her friend can't believed what she said and told her that the earrings she borrowed are just fake. It isn't gold and diamonds like she thought and so her friend returned the earrings to her. She regretted not telling the truth after knowing that. If she only told her friend about it, she wouldn't have suffered that long. Many people are like her I believe. They would rather choose to suffer than admit the truth.

Thanks for sharing, it is good to know that there still people like you who value honesty. Hope you always stay that way. Have a nice day.

Thanks Ms D. You really said it right. Some people do rehearse their speech before saying it. Some even write it on a piece of paper so they won't forget. This makes me remember of someone asking for an apology and then wrote what is going to say in a paper and read it. Though this may be what he really wants to say, I find this very insincere.

Thanks yes it is true, it is really hard to be consistent if you're lying. You need to keep track all the things you have said so that when you are asked again about it, you won't put yourself in an off situation but I guess that it is pretty hard to do especially if this happened years after. It would be hard to remember everything. My ex boyfriend told me years ago that this girl named Miles who always forward quotes to his phone is her cousin. But when I asked again about this Miles after 7 years, he told me that she's just a neighbor.
