Passage 31

In English

Do not be afraid to speak the truth

Nowadays, people resort to telling lies, fearing that they may get into trouble otherwise. Why should you fear to speak the truth? You have to fear only when you commit mistakes. Today, there is fear rampant everywhere. Life is fear-stricken! Practice (truth) and (right conduct). If you practice these, you need not fear. When you aren’t able to utter the truth, you may desist from speaking and keep silent.
