Why does the truth make us fearless?

Why does the truth make us fearless? 

Truth is the ultimate power because nothing lies beyond it. When we speak up the truth, we become a part of this power, and that's why we become fearless.

Sometimes we are too fearful of owning our mistakes and telling the truth because we are afraid of the consequences. We fear the loss or embarrassment we may experience. So we choose to hide the facts. We may get through and feel relieved in that particular situation or moment, but it doesn't last. We live in fear that the truth may get revealed. It does nothing but makes us anxious and afraid all the time. 

Always be with the truth. If the situation doesn't allow it, find the right moment and person to reveal it. It may seem complicated and stressful once but will give you a clear conscious for a lifetime.
