Truthfulness brain principle

The truth is our survival mechanism 

The truth is our security for survival. This fact also explains our urge for seeking new knowledge.
We see this principle with kids over and over again. Why is it so important to be honest in their games?
The truth is basically the right information. 

Our brain wants the truth in order to survive. The more accurate the rules are, the bigger the chance for survival. This is also an explanation for the fact that most people tend to get nervous when they lie.
On a deep unconscious level they know that lying eventually will undermine their own desire of survival and that of others.   

This same principle is something you see in business life and sports as well.
The key question always is: "Can I trust this person or not?
If the answer is "YES", then I'll go for it. And these are very often the teams that will win as well.
