I am big on telling the truth also. My stepmother use to use/threaten me with the phrase, "The truth if it kills you!" and severely punish me for lying. But I am also genetically linked to a lot of ministers and lawmen, lawyers and others generally known for looking for or upholding the truth? I think there could be a genetic component involved, like there is for being good with sense of direction and a lot of other characteristics we don't even think about but which tendencies are handed down for us to "use" or not as our life events unfold.

Do you not want to tell the truth? I know it is easier for me than for some but I take pride in my honesty, it is one of my favorite characteristics (like taking pride in my nice, wavy hair; clear eyes; and ready smile :-)
