Lies are a powerful thing, whether small or large. You tell a lie, then you have to tell another one to cover it up, and then you have a snowball effect. Lies do nothing but get someone in trouble, whether it's you later or someone else.
Can you imagine what it would be like to admire someone so much and follow what they say because they are so powerful in their opinion, and then one day you discover that they really didn't believe what they were saying? All that time spent following that person, just to find out they were lying for some sick reason. That could ruin someone quickly. For example, (not personally), let's say that someone is preaching about his religion. Let's say this someone has been doing so since he was 4. He became a fairly famous pastor over the years, and drew in big crowds to all the churches he had been preaching at and then when he was in his late 30's to early 40's, he told everyone that it had all been a hoax. He didn't believe a word that he was preaching. Several people that followed him began to wonder what to do since they had been so devoted to a liar. See how messed up lying can be?
Tell the truth.
