I am not inclined to say that I am a completely pure character, having made some mistakes since childhood. There are also times when I have been unable to bear the consequences of my mistakes. In particular, lying is a common trait seen in all three of society. I can now recall how my character was destroyed at times because of lying. Since I became a father, I have reduced lying and spent more time listening to others. In my opinion, a person's true character is built on the perfection of each other. It is built on our honesty.
The interesting thing about being a parent is that you want your child to tell you the truth, but often have the approach to punish them when they tell it and it is something you don't want to hear. It sets them up to learn that they shouldn't tell you the truth! :D
