Truthfulness

Truthfulness means speaking the truth habitually. It is the greatest of all human virtues. In fact, it is of great importance in our everyday life.  A truthful man wins the love and respect of all. By telling a lie, one can become successful on one or two occasions but ultimately it becomes known to everybody of the fact. When he is exposed, everybody recognizes him as a liar. A liar is never trusted or respected by anybody. He loses the confidence of even those for whom he tells a lie.  A truthful man does not fear anybody and has a clear conscience.  Parents should always encourage their children to speak the truth and they must be careful of forming the habit of speaking the truth in their children. As truthfulness is a highly valued quality in a man, we should cultivate it from childhood.
