Why does truthfulness matter?

An argument can be made that our societies are based on truths. Truths exist in everything we do and even in Mother Nature. Truth matters not only on our lives but even in nature. Imagine if every natural law in nature was not truth even for a few seconds; the chaos and the turmoil that would exist. When truths that we know exist and vanishes before our eyes, chaos fills up those certainties that we had held on to so dear. Truth matters not only to people, but to the well being of our society. And for a lasting relationship to stand, truth must exist.

To begin with, for a society to have a balance, a baseline must exist. For that society or community to last, that base that everyone looks up to must be the truth. When truths that we believed in for so long become lies, it can crush spirits and cause harm to us psychologically. For example, if you fell in love and one day realized the person you fell in love with is not who you think they are; that can shake your world and cause you emotional trauma. In the other hand, it also depends on the truth and sometimes it doesn’t have a big impact on our lives. In my opinion, if lying, is going to hurt the people you care about, tell the truth and hope for the best. Sometimes forgiveness is better to live with, than too have to live with a lie for the rest of your relationship.
