A Principle We Should Keep

A principle that I would always like to keep is the principle of honesty.  When you are honest with everyone around you, life seems to go on much smoother and without conflict.  From personal experience I know that if you tell a simple lie, that lie spirals into much bigger lies and makes the situation worse.  If the principle of honesty was followed all the time, people would live happier lives without holding the guilt of a lie inside of them.  Many people tell small lies to protect someone's feelings or to make things easier for themselves, but if you truly want to live a satisfying life without regret or guilt, I think that honesty is a principle you should follow.
