SSS: "I think its better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and postperity."
BY: Robert E. Lee
REFLECTION: i agree witht this statement because its saying that it may hurt to tell the truth, but its better to be honest than to lie for the rest of you life. they may not be mad at you if you lie to them, but they will be mad at you forever when they find out that you've been lying this whole time. so i say its better to have them mad at you for a little while than for the rest of your life.
EXAMPLE: lets say you won a medal for having the highest grade on your science exam, but you do not feel like a champion because you cheated on it, therefore, you are thinking of telling the teacher the truth, but youre afraid to let her know, so you hold it in but then you see what it might be like in the future if you hold it in, so therefore, you go up to the teacher afterschool and let her know and she says its okay and that she'll let you retake the test. you retake it and get an 'A' then you feel proud of yourself.
