Abraham Lincoln Short Stories - Why Lincoln Was Called Honest Abe - Presidents Day Legends for kids

Comment:
This may be only for kids, but there's a lesson here for all of us.  In the adult world, telling the truth may be seen as foolish and naive.  Depending upon the situation, it may well be.  On the other hand, honesty should be the best policy, provided that you want to stay on the best terms with people.  I don't believe that anyone likes to be lied to.  But there are times though, that it seems that people would prefer the lie.  It is a contradiction, but only because, to me, at least, too many people don't respect nor honor the truth.  If they did, the lying could stop. That may seem pretty naive of me, but I've seen some pretty crappy things.  When I think of those times, I think it would have been much better if the lies didn't start in the first place.
