“Right is right only when entire.”

-Victor Hugo

What this means is that if you always say the truth then it’s the right thing to do but you have to completely say the whole truth you can’t just say a little bit of it and lie about the rest because lying gets you nowhere and after one lie you just continue to lie and lie and lie. So just always say the truth no matter what it might even go better than them finding out later on and getting you in trouble so it is just always the best to say the truth no matter what.

When you tell a lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell a lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies, Oh brother,

You’re in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies trying to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled of worries and fear

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you told

And half the things you said aren’t true

And sometimes you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

‘Till whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good....
