Do you doubt, then keep quiet if you can't tell the truth put a lid on your words Your daily lies brings doubts, tears and sorrow A liar is difficult to believe even when one speaks the truth Word of rumours is not respected Reproduce the whole truth tell it like it is Stop filling your head with false words When you lie - your tongue will sting 28.10.2022 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

I'm a believer in truth Anne-Lise, but I also know the boundaries of hurting someone by being truthful, in which case I prefer to stay silent. Enjoyed your write.

I like your 'Tell it like it is' too, Anne-Lise. It's so important to know when to put the tongue on a short leash! G.L. in the contest, and here's to fair weather and sparkling waters, Gershon

This is so true. If one is a lair, one is never believed.
