Truth vs. lie

If I was in a difficult situation and I had to choose between tell the truth or a lie. I can say I would definitely want to tell a lie but I would want to tell the truth as well. I would probably have a mental battle between myself wondering witch would be the best choice. I know I am not perfect yes I have lied before but in the end the truth always comes out. There are consequences for the choices we make as human beings so it would just be best to tell the truth. So even if there are consequences for telling the truth I would rather have someone be mad at me for telling the truth instead of a lie. If I had to protect someone by telling the truth even though they might not want me to, I would gladly do the right thing. I know I lie sometimes it is definitely an area in my life I need to work on but I can say there has been progress in the past few year. Like the saying goes "Honesty is the best policy". A difficult situation that I might tell the truth would be if a friend was talking to a person they did not know and their life was in danger. In this situation I would tell an adult or someone who is concerned about my friend that they might be in danger. I would not really care if my friend is upset at me my concern would be their safety.
