Lying comes with consequences. I have heard that saying so many times from my parents, friends, and television. Honestly, I wish that everyone would be honest to each other, but in a way where  honesty wouldn't hurt other people's feelings. It would be marvelous for the hearts of the entire human race to be filled with so much love for every individual that acts of darkness wouldn't exist. That would be a wonderful, and possibly, perfect world to live in. Going back to my first thought, lying is a terrible deed. From personal experience, it brings pain to you and the ones you love the most. It's an unnessary act that puts you further from God. For example, last Friday, I went to sushi for Victoria's 18th birthday. We were all sitting at the bar, enjoying our sushi, when the person next to me started a conversation with us. At first, we didn't mind and it was nice to meet someone new, but it became a bit uncomfortable to answer the personal questions he was asking us. On stead of telling the truth, I told him lies. I didn't think much of it then. I mostly thought it was funny and so did everyone else. in the end, he asked me to be friends with him on Facebook, and I didn't want to be rude so I said yes. All the lies that I had told him would be discovered once we were friends. I felt horrible saying those lies to him, so much so that I wished to take it all back. Even though I didn't know that guy well, I still didn't want to be judged by him or lose his trust. I'm slowly starting to see that even the little lies can go a long way. 

Truthfulness and honesty are the virtues I still need to accomplish fully.
