Part One: Family Life and the Importance of Truthfulness : หน้า 29/216

Part One: Family Life or not each will be responsible enough to assist with another family member's life, death, success or failure. A person who is truthful exhibits responsibility in many ways: In speech, our words should always be truthful and, often even more importantly, kind. We should be careful with our speech, as even the hard truth can be unkind in certain situations. If the complete truth will hurt others and is unnecessary to disclose, then it is better to side with kindness rather than the whole truth. At work, for example, a person who is truthful always pays attention to responsibility by successfully completing the task and doing so to the best of his or her ability. If they need help to complete the task, they will ask for help from the appropriate supervisor with respect, humility and self-confidence. In making and keeping friends, we will be sincere and display no hidden agendas. We will be straightforward and unbiased. We will not show prejudice because of love, hate, stupidity or fear. In moral standards, we must have a "code that we can live by." It also means that we will not want to intentionally do something wrong, against our religion, our culture, or against the laws of the country. Thus, we will naturally have a strong foundation in the Dhamma or Truth. When we display truthfulness in these four areas, we will bring out the best in other people. Big Boonya!
