I am a science teacher in a government school. My student, Govind, is in the habit of not speaking the truth. Many students of his class used to #ignore him for the same.
Once I asked Govind about his different behavior of not speaking the truth. He accepted that, madam, I know sometimes I am at #fault.
I said," Dear Govind, please leave this habit of not speaking the truth. You will soon realize your friends will not #trust you. You will be labelled as a category of not untrustworthy boy. That #tag will go a long way with you."
I further said, "Dear Govind, please understand truth and trust are strong #pillars of a good relationship bridge. If you happen to lose one, the other will fall. Truth and trust go hand in hand with each other. Never think that you can go high in life with #cretches of not speaking the truth."
Govind said," Dear Madam, I realize lying can erode my trust in my group and make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships. "
I said, "Dear Govind, A reputation for dishonesty not speaking the truth can be difficult to repair."
Govind said," Madam, I realised whenever I conceal the truth that leads me to feelings of guilt and shame. "
I said," Dear Govind, you will soon realize concealing the truth can be challenging for effective communication. When one is not being truthful, psychology says this exercise of not speaking the truth can make it harder for a person to express his/her needs and desires, leading to misunderstandings. That person's mind is not clear and is full of fog, going here and there randomly. "
On my advice, Govind changed his behavior of not speaking the truth.
Other students of his class said to me, " Madam, now Govind is a different person altogether. He does not believe in not speaking the truth. He is an entirely #new person. It is fun and joyful talking and working with him. Now we students count Govind among #trustworthy friends."
I, as a teacher, was so happy for my student, Govind. He accepted my # advice, and he is being respected in his peer group.
Are you in habit of concealing facts ?
Moral - Please see that not speaking the truth is not going to take you a long way. Truth allows people to see the world as it is. It has good components and it has bad components. Therefore, not speaking the truth is not going to make us wiser
