I almost got myself in a jam this year. I told a little lie with good intentions when I thought I was protecting a friend from something unpleasant.
However, as I already knew and I should have remembered before I opened my mouth, even telling a tiny lie can make life complicated. But, it seems there are important, basic life lessons that I have to keep learning over and over again.
Telling the truth is one of the lessons I relearned this year.
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything,” Mark Twain once said.
