The value of the truth has as an advantage the personal integrity of the person who has it or who is committed to its obligations and custom within society. By its definition, the truth has as antonym in addition to the lie to hypocrisy, it can be said that when making use of the truth a transparent person is shown and to which a reliable person can be cataloged.
As the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson says: "Every man is sincere alone, as soon as a second person begins hypocrisy", and Francisco de Quevedo tells us: "The external hypocrisy, being a moral sin, is a great political virtue"
Thanks to the truth, one lives calmly and without concern of what is said and not of what is silent, because he believes faithfully in the reality of the facts and in what he feels and not in what others imagine.
The truth is linked to the ethical principles that govern the life of man in society, because it reflects the color of the glass in which you look at your personal, professional, economic and political acts, the same ones that can not be divorced with faith in God and love of neighbor and the pursuit of their benefit.
The truth is always relative, but you should look for it to be our presentation letter.
As a conclusion: The truth can be the key that opens great doors and that makes see the person who uses it as a reliable being and who does not carry himself two faces. Particularly I think that it is better a truth that hurts than a lie than false illusions.
