The Ethics of Truth Telling greatly impact our personal, business, and political lives. Truth is indestructible, without decay, but truth can be transformed by humans into lies and gossip. Lies and gossip have no legitimacy and longevity, but have a negative impact and influence in every stage of life, which is dangerous. At the end of the day or after a certain period, lies will be finished forever by the power of the truth. Like the sun breaking through a dark cloud, or like the dawn rising after the darkness of the night. The truth is universal forever, lies are abandoned. Telling the truth always faces difficulties and challenges in our personal, business, and political lives. The truth is unpleasant, sometimes it becomes very difficult to accept the truth. Sometimes the truth is found unbelievable and not trustworthy to others, it’s a bigger headache. That is why people are seeking help by telling lies to others. Lies are negative, but most of the time, they work better than the truth instantly. And people are accepting and implementing lies in their lives by going far away from the truth.
Some people lie intentionally and purposefully, and most people lie under duress. All of us know that lying is a great sin. Even then, people can not get control over lies. If we go through our personal lives, we will find that most of us tell lies instead of the truth, because lack of trust and poor belief in each other. Especially, we often find this in the relationship between husband and wife. By hiding and telling lies to each other, they complicated their conjugal life and ruined the whole family ambience, as a result, we often see frequent divorces. And the children and other family members are suffering from this bad practice of divorce. A divorce may have many other reasons, but if we jump into the deep, then we will find that lies play a big role there, where truth is completely absent. We also find the insufficient presence of truth in our other relationships with family members. Children are lying to their parents, also parents are hiding the truth from other family members or relatives. As a result, we are finding unhappy and less bonded families in our society. Also, people will find themselves unethical. They won’t be able to face them in the mirror. Truth can be harsh and unpleasant for the time being, but it can be safe for your family life. Maybe you have to face some difficulties and challenges for a limited period, but it will help to increase the family bonding in the long run, and a happy conjugal and family life. And you are satisfied with your ethics by telling the truth, a mental satisfaction with self-confidence, and proudly.
In every business, truth and honesty are more important than anything. Truth will bring trust to you and help you to face all types of challenges. As a business person, everyone should adopt these ethics by telling the truth in their business. But in real life, we often find that the seller is lying to the buyer, and the buyer is lying to the seller in both local and international settings. It is because of so many reasons of itself. If a seller tells the truth to buyer that he does not have enough goods at this moment, then the buyer will think the seller is incapable and he will go to others. For this insecurity, he is telling lies to the buyer instead of the truth. As vice versa for the buyer also. But some people are willingly telling lies in their business to cheat and defraud each other, which is a bigger headache nowadays. By lying and cheating in business, you can make a profit or gain wealth a few times. But it costs more than you ever thought or imagined, you may be sent to prison also arise risk to your life. And you won’t be able to be trustworthy in your business life. Honesty is the best policy ever, and honesty stands on truth. By accepting telling the truth as an ethic in your business life, you can achieve success with trust and honesty forever.
We often find lies in the political sectors, whether it’s from the ruling party or it’s from the opposition. It seems that lies are the most effective tool for the politician, and it’s working. Most politicians tell lies frequently in general, and they have no regret for that. They are slandering each other and blaming each other. And the people believe, despite understanding everything, that they are playing the role of silent spectators. It means lying to people is their practice. As a result, corruption and fascism are rising everywhere. In some cases, we can also see that some exceptional people are protesting and raising their voice courageously. As we have seen recently in Bangladesh, the corrupt and fascist governments have fled with their team due to the protest of students along with the general citizens of the country. And the truth-telling and honest person, Dr. Mohammad Yunus, is now the Chief Advisor of the interim government, as a great leader, even though he is not a politician. So, we can tell that it’s the victory of the truthness, it is the appropriate example. We can also find the truth-telling leader in history, and they are also famous for their contribution to the nation and their citizens. So we are expecting a world where the political leaders would be truth-telling and citizen-friendly as their main ethic.
In some cases, if lying can save the life of a person, then it can be merciful, but forbidden. On the other hand, death is a better choice than living with lies, where truth has no existence, telling the truth is the best ethics ever, in family, in business, or politics.
