"Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the three magic keys to living your life with integrity."
{ W. Clement Stone }
How hard is it to stand up for you beliefs? How hard is it to ignore judgements and criticism one can hold against you? You're not trying to please them. Your purpose in life isn't to live as a pauper for them. If you have the courage to tell a lie, have the same courage to hear and face the truth. Stop being ignorant. It isn't helping you in any way or any one for that matter.
