It is not always easy to tell the truth. Truth-telling can be “painful” and hazardous to one’s sense of well-being. But still, it’s the truth. If you cave and say something different than truth, avoid telling important elements of the truth, or find creative ways to ‘spin’ the truth, you’ve “betrayed” those who are depending on your integrity.
“If I had said, ‘I will speak thus;’
Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
Psalm 73.15-17
