Truth is a valuable treasure that can uplift man, and at the same time pull him, down.
The Bible tells us "the truth shall set us free" but in this world of ours, it might set you free, or even end your life.
Field Marshall alhaji idi Amin Dada said "freedom of speech I can guarantee you, but freedom after speech, I cannot ,I guess people are scared of the same thing when if comes to speaking the truth,..
The question is, will you still have your life after uttering the truth.
Speaking the truth is a good thing , but most times we are faced with the decision of what we will gain /what we will loose after uttering true words.
I know mankind would do anything possible to be alive, if speaking falsehood will keep him alive , he doesn't care, which is bad.
I pray that we men/women should imbibe ourselves with the habit of speaking the truth no matter the consequences, for the betterment of the society.
