22. SUMMARY Sometimes the truth hurts and it comes with a price but if you want to be the best that you can, you should choose to be honest. It’s okay to lie sometimes if you think someone could get hurt if you tell them the truth or sometimes they don't like what you say . It depends on the context of the situation. Do not rationalize your negative actions.
