Truth.

('I cannot tell a lie'. George Washington (1732-1799) . First President of the United States 1789-1797) . Although I think it is important to be truthful in conversation, I think there are necessary white lies to protect yourself too. Is there anyone who always speaks the truth even in trivial details? However, a constant liar in great things is a menace to others. To speak the truth under oath in court is a grave matter, with the crime of perjury being an incentive not to lie. Taking the oath on a bible is an argument for God's existence in a higher court where He is the judge with no appeals. Notwithstanding, I feel that a trial before a judge and jury is more likely to pronounce a just verdict than a judge alone. Too often in my country, I read of leniency for celebs who are acquitted. The judge ignores, ' No man is above the law'. That discrimination reminds me of Good Friday in Jerusalem and Pilate's response to Jesus: 'Truth. What is that? ' -16,17 November,2018.
