Let me start by saying that today’s prompt is “What I
believe about? Truth” of course telling the truth is important in anything.
Telling the truth gives that person trust in you, in a relationship, with a
family member, teachers, or anyone really. But of course no one can always tell
the truth, we’re only human and we make mistakes. There would be times where we
think it’s best to lie instead of someone hearing the truth. You have been
through it, I’ve been through it, and probably half my classmates been through
it. I believe that telling the truth will help build trust but it is very
fragile and easily broken one tiny lie can ruin everything you have worked for
to earn that trust.
Like I said in the beginning of this blog that giving a lie
can easily break the trust that person has in you. And it’s true. Metaphorically
speaking trust is like a beautifully decorated glass item. Inside is filled
with love and purity. Purity as in no one has tainted it lies, or anything
hurtful. You look at that glass item so fragile. So fragile that it could break
in your hands that’s how trust is. Once that glass has dropped it is shattered
into a million pieces unable to be repaired. So this metaphor is just saying
that trust is fragile and that it could break with just one lie. Whoever you
lied to would get hurt and they would feel betrayed and shattered. Of course
trust is an emotion not a glass item so it can be fixed, little by little. It
will be difficult but if you love that person or even care for them you will
work to gain their trust back and if they care for you they will learn to eventually
forgive you. The relationship would not be the same there might be some
barriers blocking that would be difficult to break down but just keep going on.
You can earn that trust back just don’t give up. But the degree of the lie can
make it more difficult for you. 
Hmmm I telling the truth is important, that is something you
should know already. I can name a few examples where people told lies to me and
finding them out on my own was way worse than them telling me directly. One
situation is when I found out my boyfriend, my now EX boyfriend had been
cheating on me with some girl at his school. When I confronted him he denied it
and me being me I got evidence to support my statement and he confessed to
everything. We weren’t serious so I wasn’t that hurt but evitable I was hurt
just a little maybe if he had told the truth I wouldn’t be hurt as bad. Telling
the truth can also be a good thing too, and all the good things you can have
from telling the truth is gaining trust from someone.
With parents telling the truth to them can boost up their
trust in you and give you more freedom to go out more or have a later curfew.
Telling the truth to friends would make them consider that you don’t lie and
they can open up to you without them feeling you’d stab them in the back. In a
relationship telling the truth gives trust, and jealously would rarely appear
in arguments. So I highly suggest you tell the truth, but of course that is not
always the case so if you have to lie give a little white lie not a huge one
where you would make matters so much worse.
