I don't know why he despised the character so much, but I am glad that the training he gave us became a part of me.
There are many things I can easily do, but you see, telling lies, especially in critical matters, I would rather remain silent.
Lies are always very sweet to the ears of the listener and lips of the deceiver until the truth comes out.
Within a split second, what once made you happy would break your heart into pieces and ruin your entire day.
To be honest, all lies are lies whether they are white or black. If it is not the truth, then seriously, it should not be told.
We all tell lies. As careful as I am about lies, there are times when I am forced to lie, but I can't say I am proud of it. Even if it was told for a good purpose.
There are situations in life when telling lies can be considered an option, especially if it's going to save a life or prevent a situation from becoming worse.
But my concern is that in the end, the truth would come to light, and when it finally does, people would not consider the fact that you did what you had to do for a good reason.
Imagine, for instance, someone's father is critically sick, and because you didn't want to make them worried, probably because they are writing an examination or attending to a crucial project, you told them all was well.
The person felt relaxed and probably concentrated on the project. Sadly, the father passed away, and they got the information. How do you think that person would react to you?
So, whether it is a white lie or not, it should not be told. The Bible says, “the truth will always set us free,” and I believe it.
It may be bitter, it may be painful, but it's always the best option. It won't take long before we take the truth and accept things as they are.
But imagine you accepted something and dwelt with it only to discover that it was a lie, that pain would always live with you.
Some people say they don't like the truth because it is painful, but I would always prefer it. Hurt me with the truth, at least I know it is real, and I will heal.
But a single lie can ruin one's life for life, a single lie can break a trust that took a long time to build.
After considering all these, the disadvantages of lies are far greater. If we are wise enough, we should keep away from it by all means.
Let anyone who thinks there are certain lies that are innocent keep believing what they believe; eventually, they will realize that lies bring nothing but disappointment, no matter how innocent they may look.
