Veracity: Truth Is... Why Lie?

As people we are hardwired to prevent pain. Seriously, the makeup of our brains prevents us from self-harm. This will sometimes manifest in the form of a lie with the complete intent to avoid such pain. We all do it, right? But does it really work? Can we lie and truly avoid pain? Perhaps but in the long run even, if it’s ourselves someone, usually gets hurt. And our plan for self-preservation has only bought us time but not complete avoidance of the one thing we were trying to avoid, pain.  Deep down inside who are we striving to be? Honesty is a virtue belonging to people who hold themselves to high moral and ethical standards. Veracity still exist. Even after making mistakes, part of being honest is facing it and forgiving ourselves. This too allows some freedom of burdens in order to grow. No one’s damning anyone or expecting perfection. However, authenticity should be easy, as much as telling the truth. Chil save erybody from unnecessary dramas and  fallacies of deceit and just be yourself.
