Derek Noble Ayi August 10, 2017 at 6:15 PM Truth frees our conscience. You need to stand by it. Demetrios Trifiatis August 11, 2017 at 1:15 AM ...so my friend, if by telling a lie you save the life of an innocent still you will tell the truth? Please, refer to what the poem says and not to matters that I do not mention!

Michael Tor August 6, 2017 at 10:53 PM Yes sometimes the truth hurts. The right amount at the right time lessons the pain of being honest.
