According to a common saying, "Honesty is the best policy."But in daily life, honesty can be difficult. Lying often seems like a good way to make people happy or avoid being punished for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they're doing it. But despite(尽管)all this, honesty is really worth the effort.

One reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain (保持).There's always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. Is the advantage from lying really worth the risk?

Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all about it. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember. But if you tell the truth, you will never have trouble remembering.

Another reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them. If your friends find out you lied to them, they will question whether they can trust you.

Oppositely, if you always tell the truth, you will develop the fame for honesty. This will help you in every area of your life. Business deals, friendships, family and other relationships all depend on trust.

Honesty, however, doesn't mean that you have to say everything you think. Sometimes it's best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships.
