The sun, the moon and the truth.

The following post was inspired by a saying by the Buddha ''three things cannot be long hidden; the sun the moon and the truth."
Indeed the truth, like the sun and the moon cannot be hidden for too long. Even when the sun and the moon  are covered by the clouds, it's only temporary and eventually you'll be able to see them again.
In terms of the truth, it will eventually come out and that's why I strongly believe that people should always tell the truth, especially in situations where the truth can make a huge impact.
It's better if you tell the truth immediately or as soon as possible instead of waiting for it to come out some months or years later because that might cause much more pain in comparison to if the truth was told straight away.
Yes, sometimes the truth may hurt but lies can be even more hurtful. That's why I always try to tell my loved ones the truth because I understand that the consequences of lying can be fatal at times.
Telling the truth can really set you free because at times lying can be rather long. Once you start lying you have to be able to remember your lies, keep them going and just hope that the truth doesn't come out. Whereas if the truth is told earlier on, life is made much more easier.
Lies can be heavy burdens that can  potentially hold you back and prevent the formation of relationships as all relationships are built on trust.

So just remember, honesty is the best policy.
