"The truth shall set you free"(such an over used phrase) does it really unshackle you from the bounds of the horrendous lies you cover yourself with like an insurance policy! Yes it does, it ensures your liberty of mind, but at a cost, for not many relate well with been faced with the hard truth. Rather it shall be rephrased as "the truth shall set you free, but first it will make you miserable".
How sweet a lie tastes once it has rolled off our very tongue & reached the ears of those around us. We bath in the tiny lies we started off with ever since we were young tacks, relishing the juiciness of the words, making promises that will never see light of day but rather for our own selfish ends. How some of us think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up & decoration, but as time goes by what is true is revealed & what is fake fades away.
I have come to the realization that the truth is like sunshine, the grey clouds may block it out but soon or later it will pierce the darkness & be exposed like the blossoming rose flower. Look at it this way if you are told that there is a God (whom you can't see) you believe of His existence but if you are told the paint is wet, due to unbelief you go ahead & touch the surface to confirm its truth.
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on".
Winston Churchill
How fascinating that we tell lies when we are afraid.....afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time one tells a lie, that which we fear grows stronger. God did not give you the strength to get back on your feet so that you can run back to what knocked you down.
"Some of us will not tolerate such emotional honesty in communication. They would rather defend their dishonesty on the grounds that it might hurt others. Therefore having rationalized their phoniness into nobility, they settle for superficial relationships".
