प्रश्न
Can you think of any events in your own or someone else’s life to support the quote-
‘If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.’
What is likely to happen if you don’t tell the truth?’
उत्तर
Yes, I remember an incident that supports the saying, 'If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.'
My friend Sameer once skipped a day of work, claiming to be sick, only to be caught on live television at a sporting event. Sameer's faked illness required a series of lies to cover up, resulting in constant anxiety and a complicated story to maintain, especially around attentive coworkers. Finally, Sameer's reputation and trust among coworkers suffered due to his dishonesty. This true story mirrors the statement, 'If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything' by showing how dishonesty complicates life.
