10、dnt seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sues house without her.

I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approa
15、ched me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods werent right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honestand yet k
16、ind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness.
