The formal, like those of mathematics or any game, is accurate, because it only refers to compliance or not with the rules. But the physical ones are only approximate, according to the information and technology available. In spite of different interpretations and studies that deal with the issue of truth in depth, it is important that we have as a premise and as a custom to always tell the truth. The truth is sincere, it is honest, it is hard, it is sharp, it is uncomfortable but it always leaves the conscience calm and the heart happy.
Always carry out the work in an objective and professional manner to maintain the confidence that citizens have in the figure of the «expert. Login 0 elementos. The importance of always telling the truth. The life of the body consists in material life, but the life of the spirit is a heavenly existence which consists in receiving the grace of the Divine Spirit and being quickened through the breath of the Holy Spirit. Although material life has existence, yet in the eyes of holy and spiritually minded souls it is utter non-existence and death.
Thus man exists and so does this stone, but what a difference between the existence of man and that of the stone! Although the stone exists, in relation to the existence of man it is non-existent.
Because of these dual aspects in our lives, we live in two different worlds at the same time—material and spiritual. Our spirit belongs to the everlasting spiritual world, so it follows the light of the spirit. We know the world of nature as contingent, perishable, imperfect and impermanent; and the world of the spirit as supernatural, limitless and eternal. Our physical body relies on spiritual power for its motive force, so with a healthy spirit a person will have a healthier body, too.
The sun nourishes our bodies, and provides for the needs of everything on Earth—of all life in the material world. Although the divine teachings are truth and reality, yet with the passage of time thick clouds envelop and obscure them.
These clouds are imitations and superstitions; they are not the fundamentals. Then the Sun of Truth, the Word of God, arises again, shines forth once more in the glory of its power and disperses the enveloping darkness. How do we access that sunlight? The spirit of man must acquire its bounties from the Kingdom of God in order that it may become the mirror and manifestation of lights and the dawning point of divine traces, because the human reality is like the soil.
Similarly, the human spirit or reality of man, unless it becomes the recipient of the lights of the Kingdom, develops divine susceptibilities and consciously reflects the effulgence of God, will not be the manifestation of ideal bounties, for only the reality of man can become the mirror wherein the lights of God are revealed.
The reality of man will then be as the spirit of this world, for just as the animus of life quickens the physical human body, so the body of the world will receive its vivification through the animating virtue of the sanctified spirit of man. The word of God bestows life—when we immerse ourselves in those holy teachings, it sustains our spiritual life, and contributes to the vitality of our physical life, too. The oneness of body, mind and soul comes when all of those human elements receive nourishment from the Sun of Truth.

Adam Smith was very clear that honest dealings and trustworthiness were critical for a properly functioning market system. Cultures that are given to corruption are often in the most impoverished parts of the world, since it is more difficult and risky to do business in cultures in which the level of trust is low.
Similarly, companies in which there is a culture of distrust typically have higher costs of doing business, since they require costly regimens of oversight. Truthtelling treats people with dignity. To tell someone the truth is a measure of respect that is missing when someone is lied to.
The Scriptures illustrate this with the Genesis account of Jacob and his service to Laban Genesis Jacob is justifiably outraged at being deceived and treated with such disrespect Gen. Jacob returns the disrespect to Laban in Genesis 30 when he deceives Laban with respect to the flocks that Jacob is tending for Laban, separating out the stronger flocks for himself and leaving the weaker ones for Laban Gen. Similarly in 2 Kings 12, when it came to the money for the repair of the temple, there were certain workmen who were so trustworthy that the overseers of the repairs did not need an accounting of the money they spent for the repairs.
Because they were honest, they were treated with dignity and trust by the king and by the priests in charge of temple repair also 2 Kings The enemy who multiplies kisses is the one who showers a person with false flattery, deceiving the person into the illusion of friendship and trust, when in reality, he is the enemy.
The right of a person to make his or her own autonomous decisions is based on having accurate information, so much so that people often and understandably feel violated and disrespected when they are deceived. This is evident in the example of Jacob and Laban.
