What it takes to speak the truth?...

By Shahid Ansari, Town's Inter College, Ballia

I feel that truth is a mirror in which we see ourselves.If we want to see ourselves clearly in the mirror we should bare our mind and soul by speaking or rather by accepting the present situation. Our personality gives the first impression to others but it is our character which leaves a long lasting impression. Nowdays there is so much emphasis on personality development and less focus on character building which was the main focus area in previous times.
"Osho once said that i am like a mirror if you will come to me you will only see yourself so in order to see me you need to be like the mirror." But is it really tough to be like that?...
I feel it is tough but not impossible.If you draw a staright line you can draw it perfectly straight without using anything if it is a small line.But if the length of the line is big there is a possibility that you will draw a zigzag line.
So to draw a straight line of our life we need support.Support in the form of guidance from our elders,education which emphasises on character building rather than making us money hungry pigs. But why truth?
Because truth is the building block of any process.If you are not true to yourself, you will not do justice with your own thoughts.
Truth brings in us a discipline which streamlines our actions and that can only lead us towards the path of success....
