TRUTH FEARS NO EXAMINATION

 

TRUTH  FEARS NO EXAMINATION

Truth fears no examination is a proverbial statement and has never been disapproved. A man of truth is a man of courage. He is brave everywhere including the biggest courts of the world. He is not afraid of punishment because he is always ready to die for the sake of preserving truth.

In contrast with truth, a lie has no legs to stand upon. It lacks both physical and moral courage. Its victories are feeble and transistory.

It is also a proverbial statement that God sees the truth but waits. A guilty person can cross many stages without being punished but not the final one where God is the supreme judge. It is therefore advisable for all criminals and sinners to remember  that they are being watched by God  

Look at the following eternal thoughts about crime , punishment and truth.
