NEVER

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil."

Ayn Rand

(novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

Reflection: According to Ayn Rand and my teacher, Mr. Haymore, it's never an appropriate time to lie.. no matter what the situation is. Lying is obviously choosing the wrong, and I completely agree with both of these intelligent people. It may get you in trouble, but you have to deal with your own consequences. For example, lying to your parents will get you in a whole lot of  trouble simply because parents figure everything out.. sooner or later. Getting in trouble isn't worth it, it only wastes your freedom. You're supposed to be choosing the right.

"The Three Nevers:

Never lie

Never cheat

Never steal"

-John Wooden

Reflection: Life should be lived on by John Wooden's quote. It's a basic point that everybody should get through their head. If you don't cheat, nor steal, then there'll be no need to lie. Those three "nevers" should be paid attention to. That's choosing the wrong. Doing any of those three will only get you in trouble and will affect your life drastically. If you get used to doing it so often, it won'[t feel like much to you, but in reality.. you're only getting yourself in deeper trouble. It's unfair to yourself, and it's unfair to others as well. Not only are you cheating yourself, but for example, the people around you who are there to learn from your steps. Always do what's best for each other, tell the truth no matter what the consequences are. Never cheat, find a way to reach your goal, just make sure it's done the right way. Last but not least, never steal, you can always find a way to earn your own things.
